We hosted a neighborhood carnival fundraiser, then took the money directly to WSJV in Elkhart where we made our donation and I think even got on TV. My sister and Angie Pletcher did most of the planning for the carnival. My two biggest memories of the carnival:
- Rocki and I walked down Hartman Knoll putting festival fliers in the neighbor's mailboxes. When we got towards the end of the street, someone opened their front door and yelled at us to "get away from their mailbox or they would call the police." Scared us!
- We had a "haunted house" in the garage. I remember climbing up into the storage loft above our garage (the area we called The Owl's Nest) and throwing stuffed animals at our visitors to try to scare them.

That is me beside you...I remember this too.
That big pink blow up thing by the porch is mine. I wish I could remember his name...I think I had a book about him.
I thought we dressed like clowns when we went to WSJV?
No one will enjoy this blog series as much as me. Loving it.
Oh and I forgot...I clearly remember getting yelled at for messing with the mailbox. To this day I am leary of touching other peoples mail boxes. :)
Me TOO!
Oh, Rocki, I ran across a close up picture of that pink blow up thing from one of your birthday parities when I was going through pictures this evening. You'll have to check it out sometime.
I was the mastermind of the carnival. I picked up a flier at the McDonalds in Elkhart and sent away for a "kit." The kit was a booklet of ideas to do a carnival. I think I thought they would send a truck full of rides and games. Although a bit disappointed by this setback, Angie Pletcher and I put together a carnival and it was fun. I wonder how much money we made?
