Carnival
Summer Celebration offers fun for the whole family with carnival rides throughout the event. Watch the kids as they enjoy riding a merry-go-round or playing in the Candy Castle. Join in the fun on the Giant Slide and Yo-Yo Swings. Additional rides include the Dino Ride, Zero Gravity, Vertigo Drop, and more! Tickets are required for all carnival rides. Tickets are available at a booth conveniently located by the rides (near the soccer fields). You may purchase tickets individually, or by sheets. Most rides require 3-5 tickets per ride. On Saturday and Sunday, enjoy unlimited rides between 12:00 noon and 4:00 pm with the purchase of a wristband.
Games and Attractions
Games and attractions will be available to challenge children of all ages! Attractions are open the entire time of the festival, so be sure to test your skill and win a prize. Games of skill include Basketball Shoot, Hot Shots (water balloons) and Mini-Golf. For some of our younger competitors, we’ll offer a Duck Pond and Fishing Game. Most games and attractions require 2-3 tickets.
Please note that, where needed, tickets bought from the carnival are also used for games. Tickets are available at a booth conveniently located by the rides (near the soccer fields). Saturday and Sunday wristbands may not be used for games.
