Dear Bishop Larkin Families,
We are
excited to announce the 4th Annual Bishop Larkin Carnival! Catholic Schools all over the country have
enjoyed great success with this tradition of family fun and community
togetherness. Our Carnival will be held Thursday, February 23- Sunday, February 26 on our
fields.
Carnival
Midway Rides, Games and Concessions, Food and Live Entertainment will all be
scheduled throughout the weekend. Thursday night will kick it all off opening
at 5pm.
Highlights
will include our Rummage Sale open
all weekend and our Craft Fair/Vendor
Expo open Saturday from 9 am -5 pm and Sunday from 10 am – 4 pm.
There are
many opportunities to become involved in this wonderful event!
The Carnival
is a large and costly endeavor which could reap large rewards. Therefore, we have been working to secure
donations early due to the significant amount of upfront expenses. Attached is information regarding various Sponsorship Opportunities for
families and businesses. We encourage
you to consider these promotional opportunities as we expect great exposure
through daily attendance and media attention planned for this event.
Any families

Craft Fair/ Vendor Expo –

of our event. Attached you will find a detailed Volunteer Sheet. Extended family members are invited to
participate. Fundraising hours will
