Selected as Party of the Day on September 12th!
Vintage Carnival Block Party
ByParty Recap
I wanted to have a vintage carnival to celebrate the kids starting school so we got together closed our street and had a vintage carnival! Each neighbor had a station set up. We had balloon darts, a photo booth, professional face painter and balloon artist, a water slide, even an ok'd fashioned popcorn machine, cotton candy and marshmallow clowns! At each station the children earned tickets. There was a gorgeous canopied table filled with prizes for the children to redeem their tickets on! Everyone had a fabulous time!
