Step Right Up for the Carnival

Our 3rd annual carnival

Guest blog by Autumn (10)

(Editor's note: The neighborhood children created a carnival out of their own ingenuity. This year was their 3rd try at it and despite the weather it went quite well.)

2 years ago we children decided we wanted to do a carnival of our own. It has gotten bigger and bigger. Last year we had 15 this year we had over 20. Anyway, I thought I would share some stuff that we did.


Here is a very small part of us rushing around before the carnival.
We had a lot of stuff and not enough staff, so we were really rushing.

Party in full swing!

This is one of the booths: The Animal Balloon Stand

Here is the goldfish game. You got to flip over a card for every ticket. If you flipped over a card with a bug sticker on it you got a small prize, and if you got one with a goldfish sticker, you got a real goldfish. We ended up giving them all away.

                                                           Not sure what she's doing.

                                           Here is the food booth. We got an endless line and I had to bend over the                                                                                 whole time:(

                                       

Here is the sign for the booth. You guessed it. We ran out of popcorn. We had a little problem. The snow cones were not the fastest things to make so they had to wait for their order a while especially if they ordered corn dogs. We had to microwave them.

Here was one of our biggest hits: The Claw Machine
