Third Annual Community Carnival

Sponsored by Geauga County Board of Developmental Disabilities

In celebration of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, the Geauga County Board of Developmental Disabilities (GCBDD) invites community members to its free community carnival on March 3, from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Metzenbaum Center in Chesterland. “We encourage community members to come out and enjoy this free event,” said GCBDD Superintendent Don Rice. “It is sure to be a fun event for the whole family.” GCBDD provides free food, games and prizes. Food options include hot dogs, chips, cookies and drinks. Carnival favorites such as popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones will also be available. There will be over 40 different games available for community members to play, including traditional carnival games like darts, balloon break and the milk bottle knock down. With some luck, participants will receive tickets for the games they win, which they can exchange for a prize of their choice. “Last year, we had 530 community members attend the carnival. We hope to build upon this success with this year’s event,” said Rice. “The carnival provides us an opportunity to celebrate Developmental Disabilities Awareness month and continue to promote our goal of helping individuals live, earn and learn in their own community.” GCBDD is in need of volunteers to help facilitate event. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Janice Chesnes, community connection coordinator at 440-729-9406, ext. 1512 or [email protected].
