Although North Clarion’s Spring Carnival is usually held in March, it was pushed back this year due to COVID-19 and in hopes of better weather, as it is an outdoor event. This year’s weather was beautiful and made for a perfect day.

This year’s carnival had a circus theme with “Sirkus Dayz Circus” performing two fire shows throughout the day.

In between the shows, they had an interactive show with the guests and stilt walkers that entertained the guests.

The carnival also included magic tricks by Magical Mike, as well as a special visit from SpongeBob.

Some of the events that were available for the students were Sand Art, Caricature Artist, Inkredible Ike the balloon artist, and Plant a Flower with the Clarion Garden Club.

In addition, the school had its Book Fair open for students to purchase books.

The Spring Carnival is free to all families and open to the community to come and enjoy the fun day.

The annual carnival also includes a huge Chinese auction. This year, there were 130 items for auction, all provided by donations from local businesses, as well as the students.

Pre-K through 6th-grade classes were asked to provide items based on their class themes, and then the PTO made themed baskets to add to the Chinese auction.

North Clarion High School students volunteered at the event and helped serve food – including walking tacos, nachos, hotdogs, and popcorn – as well as help with the Sand Art table.

In addition to the Chinese auction, the event also included a new raffle this year that raffled off an adult kayak filled with summer fun items including a towel and a life jacket, as well as gift certificates. There was also a raffle for a kid kayak filled with lots of summer toys, a towel, a life jacket, and gift certificates.

The winner of the kid kayak was William Frederick, and the winner of the adult kayak was Mike Howarth.

Each year, the North Clarion PTO provides this event free of charge. Donations from businesses help provide entertainment as well as Chinese auction items.

All of the money raised at the event goes back to the pre-k through 6th-grade elementary students to provide fun days, holiday parties, field trips, and many more events throughout the year for the students.
