The school is lit with laughter and excitement, as the festivities commence into the evening. There is a variety of vendors, a plethora of activities, and an assortment of energy. It is the Homecoming Carnival and there is much joy to be held for this night.

On September 11, students arrived one after another, creating an atmosphere of school spirit.

The Culinary Club set up before the F building in the courtyard, across from the Early Childhood Club. From here, the culinary students drew in crowds of visitors with the temptation of churros. Additionally, two students from this club vended around the carnival, selling even more of the treat to guests. “Churros, one ticket!” They called.

The guests were into the hype, delving into to the succulent sweets.

“The churros were so good. I had two,” stated a carnival patron, Kirra Hawkins

The culinary students worked the scene, making over 250 churros and receiving 250 tickets.

This event was much worth the wait for many, as some students anticipated the annual sale of churros.

“I literally went to Sam’s Club before, with [my boyfriend] and his mom and there was a churro there and was like no, I’m going to get one here; I want one at the carnival,” exclaimed student Tacey Hedberg.

Additionally, those making the sale on such goods were enjoying their own time

“I had a lot of fun. I even had a churro myself and it was delicious. Setting up [the booth] was good; I think our booth was in as good spot. I would definitely do it again,” mentioned club member, Domanique Thurman.

Not only did Culinary Club meet the excitement of the evening, but Ecology Club as well.

“I had fun working. It was fun seeing the little kids try to throw it. I did it myself and I got six and I did a victory lap around it,” Jake Crabtree.

This club’s booth was located across from Art Club and sat right beside the Puma Pals’ karaoke stand. Here, the club received its tickets through a game raking in over 80 tickets.

“In our game we had three little recycling bins and our game was called Pitch The Plastic and what you did was you would take a bottle and throw it into the recycling bin and if you got zero to two points you would get candy, and for three to five points you would get a bracelet, a doughnut, or candy, and if you got six points, which was the hardest, you would get a bracelet a doughnut, and candy. You were only given two bottles to throw,” said Ecology Club member Jake Crabtree.

In addition to these two clubs, the thrilling Homecoming Carnival was a major success.
