Community Carnival Aims to Boost Child Nutrition Initiative
An exciting community event is set to take place this weekend, designed to support a vital local charity. Organizers of Project Feed the Kids are preparing for their annual Spring Carnival Fundraiser, scheduled to occur in the J&S Hamburg parking lot on South Airport Road. The carnival promises an afternoon filled with entertainment, including inflatable bounce houses, interactive games tailored for young attendees, and a captivating silent auction that will engage families.
Entry fees have been established to cover costs while encouraging family participation. Adults are invited for $17, whereas children aged 12 and under can join for just $8. To sweeten the deal, the first fifty children through the gates will receive complimentary admission. This fundraiser holds significant importance as its earnings will directly contribute to Project Feed the Kids, an organization currently undergoing substantial expansion.
The growing demand for food distribution has highlighted the urgent need for improved logistics within the organization. According to Tiffany McQueer, president of Project Feed the Kids, acquiring a specialized box truck equipped with a lift mechanism is essential for enhancing operational efficiency. Such a vehicle would streamline the movement of large quantities of food pallets handled weekly by the team, ensuring timely delivery to those in need. Through collective effort and community spirit, this event aims not only to raise funds but also to foster unity and compassion among participants.

C-K tied the game in the sixth inning with three runs and ultimately won on Isabella Paris’s eighth-inning solo home run.
