Kiddie Karnival Rescheduled

St. Charles Borromeo Carnival is delighted to announce that we are rescheduling our Kiddie Karnival.

Kiddie Karnival is our special, kid focused and kid friendly Carnival event traditionally held on Friday afternoon of Carnival week from 12:00 noon to 4:00pm.

This year, we've noted the impact of the winter weather on the school calendar and we know that our young carnival guests who normally enjoy the Kiddie Karnival will still be in school on Friday, June 13.

In order for all youngsters to have the most fun with us this year, we've rescheduled Kiddie Karnival to Saturday, June 14, 2014 from Noon - 4:00pm.

The price is the same $15 for unlimited rides from noon to 4:00pm. And all the traditional Kiddie Karnival rides and games will be open.  Also, we'll have our special kid's lunches and parent's lunches available, too!

So, come and join in the fun this Saturday from Noon to 4:00pm for Kiddie Karnival in Final Frontier!

Important Updates For Next Week

Carnival is next week! Be sure to check out the updates we made to the site with new details including our food and entertainment schedule and our rides and raffles info.

Lastly, please be advised, due to a change in delivery schedule we are moving up the BOOTH SETUP!

Please be on-site  Saturday, June 7, 2014 at 1:00pm to review the booth setup.  It is EXTREMELY important that you physically review your booth on Saturday, June 7, 2014 for anything you need that is not already in your booth.  Sunday our construction crew will be otherwise occupied and opening night is too late.

Live Long and Prosper and see you next week!

Thank You From The 2013 Chairs

We would like to thank all the new and returning volunteers of this year’s carnival who dedicated their time and talent to make St. Charles Borromeo’s 2013 “There’s no place like Carnival” a success. All the time and effort that was donated by all the volunteers to bring forth our theme and to make it an exciting addition to the annual carnival, is truly appreciated and could not be accomplished without you. As the Chair family we had a great time sharing our week with you and we hope that you enjoyed each and every minute as much as we did.

Thank you,

2012 Carnival

Greetings to One and All!

Planning for the 2012 Carnival is ongoing. The theme this year is "In the Jungle" and marks St. Charles Borromeo's year after the Golden Jubilee. Our goal this year is for everyone to have more fun then ever before.

As always, the carnival only works with the volunteers that make it all happen. Two specific calls we issue this year are for chair people for ride tickets during the week of Carnival (this job requires someone to handle tickets and money all during the open hours of Carnival) and for Chair people for the funnel cake (this job requires someone to handle the operation of the funnel cake stand). We hope to find 2 Co-Chair Couples to split the work load of each position. Please let us know if you can handle it.

Another area that we could really use help is during Construction and De-Constriction.  We start to build the Carnival in Mid-May and it usually takes us till the first week in July for De-Construction. 

We can be contacted via e-mail: renee@independentimaging.org. Volunteer forms can be filled out and sent to us, please just look under the heading Volunteers at the top of the site, or click here.

Have a wonderful year and hope to see you at the Carnival.
