On bad carny spoils the whole darn carnival! It is a shame that this event, which is meant to raise money for a good cause, can so easily be ruined by one individual. Rides were great, kids loved them…but they are for smaller children only, families with older children won’t find much. The games are overpriced as is to be expected, but make sure you see a sign on how much a game costs before you let your child play…there is always that one dishonest carny that will con a kid into playing just to get your money, and then once they are done playing they will tally up your bill; 10, 20, 30…$100 please. Sadly we are an honest family, so we paid him as much as we had…which cost us from being able to sample the food or finish the other rides/games. I would advise to save your money for the State Fair!
Wow. I’m sure Dorcas will appreciate your feedback. Thanks for sharing, Brian.
There was maybe 2 rides for older kids the rest of the carnival was games and food. We were very disappointed (especially the kids)to make the drive across town to go. No where near a mini fair!
Thanks for the feedback Dawn.
Dawn, did they have good food? What was the cost of the tickets/games/rides?
