The annual carnival at the Huntington YMCA opens Thursday evening with both old and new features.
A BMX stunt show, reptiles, magic and more have joined this year's lineup of rides, entertainment and games.
Proceeds will benefit the Y's summer camp. The Y offers scholarships for families and individuals who are not able to afford YMCA programs.
Advance ticket purchases online continue until noon Thursday.
In 2012 the Y provided nearly $320,000 in scholarship assistance to 2,000 people who needed our help. Events such as this carnival help the Y help more people. We count on the communities support and thank our sponsors.
