2012
One thing you can depend on happening every summer is the New Cumberland River Rescue Carnival.  By late July, the rides start showing up in the field below Hillside School.  As soon as those ride trucks show up, my kids start bugging me about when we are going.  Each day, as we drive by on Brandt Avenue, we take notice of the progress made, and eagerly await our chances of winning a gold fish or a stuffed animal.  The thought of funnel cakes, fries and ice balls make our mouths water.  We can almost hear the laughter of the children and the buzzing carnival rides.

This year the carnival takes place Wednesday, August 1 through Saturday, August 4.  The food stands open at 5pm.  The rides open at 6pm.  Everything closes down at 10:30pm each night.  The carnival is open rain or shine, but will shut down in the event of lightning.  Wristband night is Wednesday, 8/1, and the cost is $15.  On Thursday, 8/2, you can get a strip of tickets for $15, and rides will only require one ticket instead of two.  The carnival is located in the field below Hillside School, along Brandt Avenue and Beacon Hill Road.

In the meantime, take some time and a few dollars, and head over to the River Rescue Carnival.  You are sure to have fun, riding the rides, playing the games, and running in to some old friends you probably haven't seen in a while.  And of course, the proceeds go to support New Cumberland River Rescue.  They are loyal and diligent in their service to our community.  Last September, during the big flood, they went above and beyond the call of duty for New Cumberland, and other mid state communities.  Please, show your appreciation and support by attending their carnival.

NOTE:  Please be sure to check out photographs from the 2012 Carnival on our 'Photographs 7/2012-12/2012' page.  The link is above this entry.  Thank you.
