Fall Carnival proceeds to benefit child care centers Event organizers hope to make the carnival an annual fund raiser By Teri Meeuwsen Higher Education Reporter Cowboys and cowgirls are invit ed to wrestle into them cowboy hats and boots for the Child Care and Development Centers’ Fall Carnival on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. in the EMU Fir Room. Live music, a cake walk, a pet ting zoo and a pinata bust will be just some of the features at this country-style fund raiser. The Fir Room will be transformed into a barnyard, with donated hay bales and pumpkins, said program orga nizer Melanie Willis. Scarecrows and time will be donated by the ASUO Women’s Center, YWCA and members of the greek system. Belinda Vivier, network coordina tor for the YWCA, said the organi zation wants to be involved in the Fall Carnival to help raise aware ness. Because the YWCA is an ad vocate for child care, the members want to be involved in helping to raise funding for the Child Care and Development Centers, she said. "The YWCA has been dormant for a while,” she said, “and we wanted to make it more visible.” The Fall Carnival proceeds will go toward classroom materials, such as books and toys for chil dren in the care centers, Willis said. Booths will include carnival games such as Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Go Fish and some family oriented projects such as face painting and mask making. Infor mation about child care and the greek system will also be available. Brad Cooley of Theta Chi frater nity has volunteered half an hour to help run the games and hand out prizes. “It’s going to be cool,” he said. “I’m a freshman here, so I haven’t seen a lot of opportunities, and when one pops up and it looks in teresting, I’ll go for it. ” The organiz ers of the Fall Carnival expect a de cent crowd, Vivier said. “From the past experiences I’ve had with schools, they have a real ly good turn out,” she said. Families involved with the child care centers will be there, Willis said. “Most of the families plan on at tending,” she said. "We’re expect ing around 200 people. At first it was just for families in [Child Care and Development Centers], but we decided to open it to the public.” The carnival may become an an nual event, Willis said. “We want to continue [the carni val] every year,” she said. “It would be a good year-after-year fund-raising event.” A $3 admission fee will be charged per parent or $5 per family at the door. Children accompanied by a paying adult can get in for free. Events at the carnival will cost one ticket each. Tickets will be 25 cents each or five for $1. TAKE NOTE: A DELICIOUS MACTARNAHAN’S NOT SERVED IN THE PROPER 1692 TUMBLER IS STILL A DELICIOUS MACTARNAHAN’S. If the nearest thing to a cleaN beer glass in your home is the urn for grandpa’s ashes, don’t fret. As long as there’s a MacTarnahan’s Amber Ale in the fridge, you’re okay. This medium-bodied beauty with a refreshing mAlt aroma can be savored right from the bottle. Be wary, however, of the smelly workboot. ★ GREAT BEER WHAT ELSE MATTERS? * www.portlandbrew.com/portland PORTLAN BREWING COMPANY ★ Portland, Oregon Resale Clothing NEED CHRISTMAS MONEY?
