CHILDREN’S CARNIVAL PLANNED FOR APRIL 1

Area children will enjoy a carnival and parents will have a chance to learn about improving their wellness at a ‘Children’s Carnival’ planned in Emmetsburg Sunday, April 1.

The carnival is being sponsored by the ADN (Associate Degree Nursing) Club of Iowa Lakes Community College.

It will definitely be a fun time for everyone.

"We plan to have ‘inflatable devices’ for children to jump around in – we’ll have lots of food, swimming and games to provide an all-around good time for everyone," said Marly Stecker, President of the ADN Club.

The Children’s Carnival will be held from 1-5 p.m. at the Smith Wellness Center on the Emmetsburg Campus of Iowa Lakes. A raffle will also be held that day with gifts donated by several area businesses.

The ADN Club will use this event as a fund-raiser to assist them in paying for a review course which will help prepare them to be successful on the official state test to achieve their Registered Nursing license. Those who don’t have children and who would like to donate to this effort may contact Marly Stecker at (712) 260-6391.

Cost for the afternoon will be $5 per child. Admission will be free for parents accompanying children, but there will be a $2 fee if parents want to eat the planned meal. Tickets will be available from ADN Club students and at the door the day of the carnival. Raffle tickets will also be available in advance.

While the young people are enjoying themselves, parents will have the chance to get some health tips, take a blood pressure test; and learn about healthy snack ideas.

Participants are asked to enter through the Wellness Center doors. For more information, contact Stecker at the number listed above.
