What a Day for a Carnival

Creative Scarsdale parents launched impressive carnivals at all five elementary schools on Saturday May 10 – and fortunately Mother Nature did her part. Under sunny skies, kids enjoyed games, rides, crafts, jumping castles, climbing, swinging, pie-eating, performances and even getting dunked. Greenacres and Fox Meadow went Hawaiian, while the circus came to Edgewood, skateboarding to Heathcote and Quaker Ridge was launched into outerspace.

Carnival Chair Jocelyn Gross said, "Quaker Ridge families had a blast at their Outer-Space-themed carnival. In addition to inflatables, games, prizes, crafts, and face painting, highlights included relay races and tug of war provided by Backyard Sports and a Marvels of Motion show provided by Mad Science." At Greenacres, where the theme was "Aloha," they held a Hawaiian luau. Chair Amy Nadasdi said, "We had an AMAZING turnout, and a professional hula and fire dancing troupe."

Here are just a few of the wonderful photos we took and received from readers around town. Send your carnival photos to scarsdalecomments@gmail.com and we will add them to the slide show.
