Midnight Madness

Council: 1873 - HOULTON

Project Description:

The Midnight Madness event in Houlton, Maine, was a lively and spirited evening that brought the community together in celebration. At the heart of the festivities, the Knights of Columbus from Council 1873 played a pivotal role, setting up their food stand and offering a delectable selection of Sausage Dogs, Hot Dogs, and Lobster Rolls to hungry attendees. The aroma of grilled meats and freshly prepared lobster rolls filled the air, drawing people in from all corners of the event.

As the night unfolded, the Knights served a steady stream of visitors, each one greeted with warm smiles and friendly conversation. This wasn’t just about providing food; it was an opportunity for the Knights to connect with the community on a deeper level. The laughter and camaraderie shared over a simple meal underscored the sense of togetherness that Midnight Madness is known for.

But the event had a purpose beyond the joy of the moment. The funds raised from the sales of these delicious offerings were earmarked to support the many activities and charitable events that the Knights of Columbus Council 1873 sponsor throughout the year. From community outreach programs to faith-based initiatives, the money would ensure that the Knights could continue their good work in Houlton and beyond.

Moreover, the Knights saw this as more than just a fundraiser. Their participation in Midnight Madness was a reflection of their commitment to the community—a way to show their faith in action and their unwavering support for the town they call home. As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that the Council had not only nourished the bodies of those in attendance but had also fed the spirit of community that makes Houlton such a special place.
