There is also a silent auction by Blue Mountain Animal Rescue Society; pictures with Apollo the alligator for a small donation at Christina’s Reptile & Animal Sanctuary’s tent, a variety of craft vendors and other goodies.

Christina Obrecht, president of Crusaders For a Cause, said proceeds from the event benefit local charities.

Obrecht said anyone looking for fun, good food, rides, craft vendors and animals, “we highly encourage them to come out.”

“We’re not the largest carnival; it’s just a small carnival we do for the local community,” Obrecht said. “We hope everyone comes out and enjoy themselves.”
