The carnival is this Friday April 19th at 6:30pm and we have lots of exciting news to report. In addition to many fun games, bounce houses, snacks, and lots of wonderful kid raffle prizes there are also going to be 2 Food Trucks and an Adult Silent Auction!
The Adult Silent Auction will feature items such as: a family photography package, autographed pro sports items (Vikings and PWHL), a high-end salon gift basket, art classes, a family dinner and games at Full Tilt and a bunch more!
The menus for the 2 Food trucks: Egg Roll Queen and Purple People Feeder are shown below. Both these food trucks will take either cash or credit and have generously offered to donate some of their earnings from the night back to Ridgeview.
Also please note that if you have not yet purchased tickets that tickets still may be bought at the door. We hope to see you all there!
