Have you heard the news?!

The Morinville News is one of our outstanding Diamond Sponsors!  We love the Morinville News over at Morinville Public; a great local news source and invaluable contributors to our community.  From their About section on Facebook: 
Community news requires an active participation in the community and staff that are invested and rooted in the community they cover. 
We have been lucky to enjoy their support at each of our Carnivals and are thrilled to have them back again this year.  Make sure to check them out online and through Facebook, and keep an eye out for the Carnival posters within their pages.

The Real Deal

Let's give a huge shout out to the Bear's Skin Art & Tattoo, and our boy Scott who will be joining us at our old school "tattoo parlour"!  Now don't fret, moms and dads, it's all just pretend, but how amazing is it that we will have a full blown artist throwing down some extra special face paint?!  And keep in mind, this is still ALL FREE!!!  We couldn't do it without the support of Bear's shop and I thought I'd post something I found on their site recently that I was pretty impressed with, a little shout out from the health inspector:
