St. Joseph's Catholic Church parishioners create handmade spaghetti noodles July 17 in preparation for the 119th annual Tontitown Grape Festival.

The Tontitown Grape Festival is the largest fundraiser for St. Joseph's Catholic Church. The festival's famous spaghetti dinners alone generate $50,000. To prepare to feed thousands of hungry guests, members of the church volunteer for two weeks making the noodles from scratch. The dinners will be served from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 3-5.
