A HUGE Thank You to the Rice Lake Volunteer Fire Department for donating the funds needed to pay for our entire carnival this year - the event was a big success and would not have been possible to put on without you. We also appreciate all the hard work you’re putting into fighting the massive outbreak of wildfires in our region - stay safe out there!
Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who helped with planning and prep, setup, running games and cleanup. Without the generous donation of your time and enthusiasm, the Homecroft Carnival would not be such a favorite event. Special shout out to the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office - MN and K9 Ollie for hanging out with us for the night, and to our wonderful food truck vendors Oh My Mini Donuts, Oasis Del Norte, B&B Market Catering and Quality Meats, and Kona Ice of Duluth!
We are exhausted but our carnival hearts are full!
❤️🤍❤️
