The Hegins Carnival is fast approaching and we would love to see you there! Our team volunteers to work the main food stand every night and we hope we get to see you! Stop in and see Lindsay at the register. She will have some Caring Cleaners swag to give away!
β€οΈπ WHY WE CARNIVAL πβ€οΈ
The Hegins Carnival was first started many years ago as a way to help produce the majority of the funds needed to operate a volunteer fire company.
Even the very basics of operating a fire company are expensive:
Building costs, Apparatus repairs & maintenance, Ladders, Hoses, Rescue saws, Turnout gear, Air packs
β¦and so much more.
While that still remains true today, the reality is that the cost of operating a volunteer fire company in todayβs world has become absolutely enormous.
There are now so many things considered necessities to safely and professionally operate β and like everything else, the costs are astronomical.
The truth is, while the carnival absolutely helps, the funds generated do not even come close to covering the full operating expenses of a modern volunteer fire company.
So todayβ¦
WE CARNIVAL FOR MORE THAN JUST FUNDRAISING. β€οΈ
We carnival because it has become something special for this community.
π‘ Four days for people to come together
πΆ Enjoy live entertainment
π Eat great food
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Spend time with family and friends
β€οΈ Make memories
π Celebrate community traditions
And best of all β it is FREE to come enjoy.
For many, it has become a cherished tradition and a positive outlet for the youth and families in our area.
Yes, it helps meet a small portion of our operating budgetβ¦ but more importantly, it has become our way of giving back to the community that supports us year after year. β€οΈ
However, hosting this event becomes more challenging with each passing year.
With dwindling numbers of volunteers to help and lower attendance numbers, putting on an event of this size takes more effort than ever before.
In order to help ensure this beloved tradition continues for many years to come, we ask for your support. πβ€οΈ
