Broomall Fire Company Discontinues Annual Carnival Fundraiser

BROOMALL, PA — The Broomall Fire Company Wednesday said it will no longer host its annual carnival fundraiser event.

In an announcement shared on social media, the fire company said the carnival had "unintended consequences impacting our community and local businesses."

The fire company said it has worked to address growing concerns, which they said includes attendee behavior, over the carnival.

However, the issues persisted.

"We deeply value the relationships we have with our neighbors and local businesses, recognizing the vital role they play in supporting our endeavors," the statement reads. "Therefore, after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue our annual carnival fundraiser."

The fire company said anyone who still has Majestic Midway credits can use them at the Goshen Fire Company Fair or any other event hosted by Majestic Midway.

"As we bid farewell to one tradition, we look forward to creating new opportunities or community engagement and fundraising," the statement reads. "Together we hope to uphold the values that make Marple Township a special place."

The fire company said it is looking to find alternate fundraising means "to ensure that we can continue to provide the highest level of protection and assistance to all those who live in and travel through Marple Township."
