Money raised from the “carnival will go towards ensuring that cost doesn’t deter people from attending their senior prom. It will significantly help us cut down costs,”said Binnall.

• Friday, June 12 from 6 to 11 p.m.
• Saturday, June 13 from 1 to 11 p.m.
• Sunday, June 14 from 1 to 9 p.m.

Admission is free, but you must purchase tickets for the rides and games. Food is available for purchase.
