July 21-23, 2023. St. Joseph’s most visible and locally famous fund raising event is the Annual Ox Roast Fair, which is held the third full weekend in July. There will be live music, raffle, carnival rides, events, games. Truck, tractor and semi pulls. Check the event site for specific schedules.
Up to 3,500 pounds of sirloin roasts are prepared in brick-lined pits which are heated several days before the fair with a constantly burning fire. The beef is prepared, wrapped in unbleached muslin & netting, and placed in the fiery coals, covered over, and cooked for several hours until done to perfection. The result is a delicious, slow-cooked beef sandwich, dinner, or Ox Roast sundae with mashed potatoes that melts in your mouth!
