2nd annual Carnival Event 3/14/09

The Johnnycake Corners Elementary PTO puts so much work into making the carnival a success. Many volunteers work hard to make the day enjoyable and profitable. I attended the carnival last year it was a fun day for the kids and parents a wonderful event.

 A great fundraiser

 All the profits from the carnival help to provide additional resources for the school. Last years carnival was very successful kudos to those that organized the very first carnival since the school just opened in the fall 2007.

Such a fun day

A great day for the kids to put their energies into playing games and eating their favorite foods. Not sure what will be availed this year you will just have to attend. Kids I am rooting for you, hope there is cotton candy and hot dogs again this year.

Silent auction and raffles

Many items have been donated. Last year there were beautiful baskets full of goodies to bid on. A boy’s bike and an American Girl Doll will be included in this year’s raffle. It’s always an honor to be asked to provide a donation to this special event.

Chrissa the 2009 American Girl Doll of the year

When called to make a donation to the carnival I was very happy to donate Chrissa. Every year the American Girl Doll company announces a brand new doll that is only available for one year. I love the message that Chrissa conveys, she is a girl that stands up for herself and others, she speaks out against bullying.

Please do attend

A group of residents that play marching band instruments gather together a few weeks before the holiday to practice, they play patriotic tunes as they march thru the neighborhood on the 4th of July.

Happy 4th of July 2008

A great day for family and friends to gather together to enjoy parades, picnics and fireworks. 4th of July is more than a day of fun festivities; it’s a day to commemorate the founding fathers of our country for their pursuit of liberty and justice for all. Many have made sacrifices so that we are able to enjoy our freedoms.

When the residents applied for a Post Office in 1834 the name of Zoar was disqualified due to the existence of another community with that name. There is no history as to how the town
