Carnival is Friday, May 16, 2025! We need many volunteers for a successful carnival. Please sign up for a shift - or two!
Happy to volunteer but can't decide which position to snag? Sign up for the "Free Agent" position (at the very top) and we'll assign you wherever you are most needed as the Carnival gets closer.
Let's make this year's Carnival, during Abernethy's 100 Year Anniversary, a once-in-a-century fun time!
Sincerely,
Morgan, Carnival Volunteer Chair
The Carnival Committee
