More Coverage of U.S. Catholics Largest Gathering -Marian Days 2010


Usually Whispers in the Loggia has some great posts on this event. However he seems silent this week no doubt preparing for the Holy Feast Day of Elvis that is coming up this weekend.

So I guess it will be up to Catholic Key and I to pick his slack. I am really amazed this does not get the Catholic and secular press it deserves.

Catholic Key is there and has a post with pics at Marian Days 2010 – Day
The local paper in Carthage Missouri has a interesting article here. See Marian Days restaurant raises funds for Vietnamese church (On that page there are pics too)

Hopefully we shall see a lot more coverage in the Sunday papers.

Update-
Brother Davis has thoughts here at Marian Days 2010

See this rather good article at Marian Days in Carthage is a cultural and religious event for everyone to enjoy

Ozarkfirst has a good article here with a vid that shows how Marian Days is shifting to a very big Youth Focus (GREAT)

Update II
Another TV report and article here at Marian Days Prayers Answered. Plus from that same station a vid at Marian Days Foods In that last link we learn

Bang Ngo has been coming to the celebration for all 32 years.

He and his brother fix special drinks for the guests that can usually only be found in their home country Vietnam.

Some of the ingredients include sea weed, beans and sugar.

The brothers say once American's try the drinks they usually want another.

I got to try that seaweed drink sometimes.
