Commenter Amy tipped me off that the Hellam Carnival is going on through Saturday at Lee and Beaver streets.
I've had a hard time finding any information about it, but I did read on the Kreutz Creek Valley Library Friends Group's web site that the group is going to be at the carnival from 4 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday, selling their fundraising items as well as books, videos, DVDs and audiobooks at reasonable cost. They'll also be having a "grab bag" game for children and a "number match" game for adults, plus a raffle for a small quilt and another for a Little Jack Horner doll.
Backing up a day, on Friday, there will be a "Cruise Nite" from 6 to 10 p.m. at the carnival. You can showcase your car and also enjoy the carnival rides, food, games, raffles and free music by The Roadsters, an oldies group. For the cruise, there is a $5 registration fee that benefits the Hellam Area Recreation Commission; for details, call 252-0101.
If you go, let me know how it is! I'll be working those nights, so it's not likely I'll head out, but you never know!
