We still need volunteers for our Cinco De Mayo carnival on Friday. If you are able to help, please click the link below to go to our volunteer sign-up. All volunteers will receive either a $5 bounce house wristband or $5 off a combo pass. 

Also, we are allowing anyone aged 6th grade and up (who is willing to be responsible and can stay at their station the whole shift)  to volunteer.  So, have your teens grab a buddy and volunteer for a couple hours, or bring some older children or family members and save some money at the carnival.

Remember, ticket prices go up if purchased at the carnival, so get your tickets now. We would like to have a pretty good idea of how much food we need to order by Wednesday, so if you are able to order by then, please do.
