Everybody wins at HES Carnival
Staff writer
The elementary school carnival last Friday was a big hit for kids and adults alike.
The annual event was held in two of the Marion County Fairgrounds buildings, and according to elementary school principal Evan Yoder, the carnival went well.
Some high school cheerleaders and members of the middle school Leo Club volunteered to help run booths and paint faces. This allowed parents of elementary school-aged children to enjoy the evening with their kids.
Everyone who came to the carnival was a winner, but some also won raffle prizes. Thirty prizes were given away and proceeds from the raffle reached almost $500.
The following is a list of all prizes and winners: Brett Mueller, fun night in the Jacuzzi suite at Country Haven Inn; Nancy Rodgers, free family session and 11 by 14 portrait at Don's Studio; Graham Pankratz, bean bag from Hillsboro Furniture; Ashley Brazil, stuffed long eared bunny from Quilts and Quilt Racks; Connie Faber, carnival gift pack including $10 gas and a free pizza from Co-Operative Grain & Supply, four gift cards for Jones Soda from Little Pleasures, a gift bag and $10 gift certificate from Nancy's, hair care products from The Cut Above, a movie six-pack and tanning sessions from Quick Flick - Radio Shack, a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut, and film developing from Photo Express; Chloe Pankratz, a sports pack from Hillsboro Hardware; Angel Garrett, family pass for U.S.D. 410; Shawn Strunk and Aaron Bina, back to school kits from Quick Flick - Radio Shack; Anna Glanzer, a gift basket from Golden Heritage Foods; Stephan Brazil, Sherry Kaufman, and Ruth Coyle, T-shirts from HES; Nathan Simhiser, two toy truck replicas from Irv Schroeder; Connie Weber, two plants and seeds from The Garden Center; Lori Berg, dog food from Country Side Feed; Michelle Carlson, Pampered Chef from Connie Weber; Ashley Brazil, koozies, sweat shirt, and umbrella from American Family; Wendy Jost, 20 hours free childcare from Lucky Ducks; Rebecca Kaufman and Madison Klein, gift baskets from Prairie Flower; Evan Just, a Tony Richardson poster; Carter Pankratz, a Trent Greene poster; Aaron Bina, a Mandy poster; Bailey Kaufman, a Hillary Duff poster; Hayley Pankratz and Terina Lucerno, a basket from Creative Memories; Kelly Bettles, 12 gallons of milk from Vogts; and Grant Shewey, a tennis poster.
