Category: Recreation (See all events in this category)

Wouldn’t it be great if games cost only a nickel? Well for one day they do! The annual Nickel Carnival returns on Friday, July 18 for 3 - 12 years with adult.  Kids can try their hand at carnival games with prizes to be won and oodles of fun to be had, visit our face-painters to have their face transformed, or take a treat trot on the wild side.

The carnival will be at the Native Sons Hall upper level running from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Admission is $3.00, with $2.00 returned in carnival tickets. There’s no need to bring nickels with you, as your admission will pay for a punch card to play games. 

Parents and caregivers of kids in adapted programs are welcome to come early, from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m., so that the kids have more time at each carnival game.
