Thomas Hughes Brinkley Memorial Fun Run & Carnival begins @ 3:00. Rain or Shine.

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 in front of the library and runs through the adjacent neighborhood.

The carnival runs from 3:00-5:00 p.m. and will feature a train ride, 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.

$30 Wristbands – which come with a T-shirt, while supplies last, and allow kids to participate in all carnival activities – will be available at the O’Neal Library starting in May. Patrons can also buy wristbands and individual activity tickets at the carnival. (All proceeds go to the Children's Dept.)

Rain or Shine.
