This Week: St. Rose of Lima Carnival

This week promises five days of fun at St. Rose of Lima Parish, with the hotly-awaited carnival returning Tuesday through Saturday.

Hope for good weather: according to the National Weather Service, Newtown faces a chance of thunderstorms between Thursday and Saturday, ranging from 30% to 50%.

From their event posting on Patch:

"As in past years, the popular area carnival will feature rides and games by Stewart Amusement, from 6pm - 10:30pm each evening, with ride bracelets available for $25 per night.  Additional features are a Kiddy Tent with face painting and crafts for the younger set and nightly entertainment.  Food will be plentiful, and includes burgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, fried dough and various desserts, along with nightly specials from local area restaurants including pulled pork sandwiches, sausage & peppers, meatball and eggplant grinders and pasta bowls.

"Additionally, the St. Rose Home and School Association will offer their monthly Friday Night Bingo during the carnival on Friday, June 28th.  Doors will open at 5:45pm and games begin at 6:30pm.  Admission is $17 per person, which includes all regular and some special games, and carnival food and desserts will be available for purchase through student waiters."
