2026 Summer Reading Kick-Off Carnival &
Thomas Hughes Brinkley Memorial Fun Run

Join us for a special Summer Reading Carnival at the Crestline Elementary Fields due to the library closing for a renovation.

The afternoon’s events begin at 3 p.m. with the Thomas Hughes Brinkley Memorial Fun Run. Children and their grownups are invited to walk, run, bike, scoot, skate and stroll the one-mile course that starts at the Crestline Fields and runs through the adjacent neighborhood.

The carnival starts immediately after until5:00 p.m. and will featuring face painting, game booths, a rock-climbing wall, and a bouncy house. A visit from the MBFD to "cool off" all the kids will wrap up the party.

$25 Wristbands – which come with a T-shirt, while supplies last, and allow kids to participate in all carnival activities – will be available to purchase online. Patrons can also buy wristbands and individual activity tickets at the carnival. (All proceeds go to the Children's Dept.)

Rain or Shine.
