The Eagle Foundation, The Family Resource Center, and the Boys & Girls Club of Richland County have teamed together again this year to sponsor the third annual Kids First! Carnival this fall. With the success of last year, the three groups are hoping this year will be even bigger and better. Total attendance for last year was over 400 people, and several thousand tickets were sold. All three groups focus on children, families, and education, forming a perfect partnership to bring a new and exciting activity for families in the Sidney area to enjoy.
The carnival will be held Saturday, September 15, 2012 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Richland County Fair Event Center. There will be games for children of all ages, face painting and food vendors. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door for a price of $.25 per ticket, and games will range from 1 to 4 tickets.
In addition, this year we are pairing with the Richland County Food Bank to do a food drive. The entrance fee to the Carnival will be canned food. We are looking specifically for canned veggies, canned fruits, tuna, mac n’ cheese, ramen noodles, canned soup, Spaghettio’s and instant potatoes. Please make certain that all items are current, and not expired. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Richland County Food Bank.
This is sure to be a fun activity for families with children of all ages! For more information contact Elaine Stedman at 488-4390, Nicole Hackley at 433-4097, or Sarah Sifers at 433-6763. We are looking forward to seeing you again this year!
