Spring carnival
Como Park Elementary School, 780 W. Wheelock Parkway, will host its annual Spring Carnival on Friday, May 30, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The carnival is a fundraiser to revitalize the school’s playground, support its literacy program and fund field trips. There will be two new activities at the carnival this year: The Raptor Center and Como Zoo will be there to share their birds and animals with the guests. The Como Planetarium will offer free shows during the evening (get your free tickets early; seating is limited).
The carnival will have more than 15 games, three large bouncers, a snack walk, Scholastic Book Fair, a basket raffle, Bingo, a silent auction, games, a dunk tank, a crazy hair booth and face painting.
The St. Paul Mounted Police will visit with their horses and the St. Paul Canine Unit will conduct demonstrations. Food will be available for purchase and the popcorn is free.
The carnival is supported by many community and neighborhood organizations.
