Somehow in all our memory-sharing recently at Koste's, someone remembered the yearly carnivals held at our grade school. They were money gathering events for the PTA or something, held some weeknight during the school year. Everyone would turn out, parents included.
The cafeteria served food, the auditorium hosted a talent show and the school rooms were turned into venues for games of chance and contests with prizes.
Talent? Lots of accordions and harmonicas.
Games? There was the cake walk (my favorite!), the fishing pond, a wheel of fortune.
Can't recall the others, but it was always a big event for the school.

Those carnivals were really looked forward to. I remember people bringing in their old comic books and being sold at the carnival for just pennines. The fishing pond was always my favorite. Great fun!
