The second annual Easter Carnival indoor party aims to have more games and fun planned for children who are encouraged to dress up for the event.
Organizers are ready to greet children in Easter bonnets and other fine duds from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 11, at Meadowview Elementary School in Farmington.
Last year, the first Easter Carnival was held to replace the longtime outdoor egg hunt.
More than 620 children played carnival games and had their photographs taken with the Easter Bunny, according to Maribeth Vanderbeck, chair of CEEF, Castle Rock-Empire-Eureka-Farmington Enhancement Group.
The event is sponsored by CEEF and the profits will help fund Farmington Dew Days.
Tickets are $2 for each child and adults are admitted for free. Each child gets a grab bag to fill with candy and toys.
Participants are welcome to bring food shelf items to be donated to the Farmington Food Shelf. Last year, more than 684 pounds of food were donated. Farmington Boy Scout Troop 119 will collect the food.
Carnival games will include bowling, spinning wheel, Tic Tac Toe and baseball pitch measured by a radar gun.
“We want to remind parents to bring their cameras because this is a great photo opportunity,” Vanderbeck said.
Participants should enter on the north-facing Community Education wing doors.
