As this is a non profit event, each family needs to help in some way, such as sewing costumes, making props, caring for children in dressing rooms or in the auditorium, selling tickets, or serving at the cast party. As this is a special time for ALL the skaters to present their talents, and celebrate the year, we need the help of all families to make our carnival a success.
