Kinder Karnival Opens 2-Day Stand Tuesday

An event which has proved popular with the small fry and adults alike and which was begun as a “labor of love” by a group of youngsters, this year has been incorporated by the Kiwanis Club into the Pioneer Days Celebration.   The two-day stand opens Tuesday at 1:00 P.M. in Armory park, continuing through Wednesday evening.

It is the Kyote Kiddie Carnival, which this year is known as the “Kinder Karnival”.

About seven or eight years ago a group of youngsters known as the “Kyote Club” decided to do something to raise money for the hospital construction fund which was being sought at that time.   The backyard project proved to be so popular that it outgrew its narrow confines and young management and was taken by the Kiwanis Club to a larger area.   After several years at the Recreation field park, the carnival moved to Armory park last summer.

The carnival has been featuring rides for the kiddies only but the adults have found the food and home-made candy offered to their liking.   Among the special features of this annual event are the Pet Parade, the fish pond, and the pony and hay rides.
