CARNIVAL NEWS
Co-Chairs Needed. This coming year we will celebrate the 45th carnival. This fun activity has raised much need funds for our parish and St. Patrick's School while entertaining thousands of people from Bedford and the region. To ensure that the carnival continues to achieve these goals for another 40 years new volunteers must come forward to provide leadership as Co-chairs. As the current Co-chairs we will mentor such volunteers. The attached overview of carnival operations shows that this is not an overwhelming position, especially if several people sign up as Co-chairs. So please consider becoming a volunteer and help secure the carnival's future.We are on Facebook!

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
One way local families and business can be a part of the fun — besides going down the giant slide or riding the giant swing — is to have their name included as an event sponsor.
Why be a sponsor? The annual event is an important fundraiser for the educational and charitable ministries of St. Patrick’s. It attracts thousands of attendees young and old from the area and represents a significant customer base for local businesses.To ensure that your participation is made widely known, your business’s name is displayed on the front wall of the school for all visitors to see throughout Carnival Week. In addition, the sponsors of Carnival Rides will have their name frequently broadcast over the Carnival PA system, and will be listed here on our webpage, as well as on our Facebook page and Twitter.
