A Carnival of Confections
Picture this: it’s Halloween night, and instead of the usual trick-or-treating routine, you’re stepping into a world where candy reigns supreme. From 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Foundation Christian Church at 7800 Wonder Street will transform into a sugary wonderland that’ll make your dentist’s head spin (but don’t worry, we won’t tell).
Candy, Candy Everywhere
If you’ve ever dreamed of swimming in a sea of sweets, this is your chance to come close. The Candy Carnival promises a paradise for anyone with a sweet tooth. Imagine booths stocked with every type of candy you can imagine – probably some you’ve never heard of. It’s like Willy Wonka decided to throw a party, and everyone’s invited!
Games Galore
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just about stuffing your face with sugary goodness (although that’s a big part). The carnival will feature various games and activities to keep you entertained while you’re on your sugar high. From ring tosses with giant lollipops to pin-the-tail-on-the-candy-corn, these games are designed to be fun for all ages. And the best part? Winning means more candy!
Fun for the Whole Family
The Candy Carnival isn’t just for kids – it’s a family affair with parents and grandparents joining in on the fun. Here’s what you can expect:
Costume Contest
Dust off your best Halloween costume because there will be a contest! Whether you’re dressed as a spooky ghost, a superhero, or even a giant piece of candy (how fitting), you’ll have a chance to show off your creativity. Who knows? You might just win the coveted “Sweetest Costume” award!
Photo Booths
Capture the memories of this sugar-coated evening with themed photo booths. Pose with oversized candy props or in front of a backdrop that looks good enough to eat. These photos will be the perfect keepsake to remember the night you ate your weight in candy (and loved every minute of it).
Live Entertainment
As if the sugar rush wasn’t enough to keep you going, the Candy Carnival will feature live entertainment throughout the evening. From magicians pulling sweets out of thin air to musicians playing candy-themed tunes, there’s never a dull moment at this carnival.
Safety First (But Fun is a Close Second)
The organizers at Foundation Christian Church have put a lot of thought into making this event both fun and safe for all attendees. Here’s how they’re keeping things sweet and secure:
