Fall Carnival proceeds to benefit child care centers
Event organizers hope to
make the carnival
an annual fund raiser

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.
