Carnival With A Cause

It's an event that promises to be much more than just fun and games!   The fourth annual "Carnival For Kids" happens this Saturday, June 11, from Noon until 5 p.m. on Courthouse Square in Scranton.  The event got off the ground years ago thanks to Carl Von Luger's Steak & Seafood in the Electric City.

While the majority of the carnival is free, money raised from paid activities benefits the Children's Advocacy Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania.  The nonprofit along Mulberry Street is dedicated to providing child abuse intervention services to child and teen victims of sexual and physical abuse as well as neglect.  The center’s goal in Lackawanna County is to bring the professionals to one location to avoid the child from being shuffled around from place to place.

For a list of the activities this Saturday, click here!  The event is also looking for talented youth, from middle school to high school age,  to take part in the "open mic for kids" activity.  Organizers are looking for singers, musicians/entertainers to play during the carnival.   If interested, contact Susie at CarlVonLuger@gmail.com.  You can also contact that email address if you're interested in volunteering.
