A Carnival Story...

Welcome to...
wait -
hurry, Miss Kat - the carnival is about to start!

Ah, there we go.

Welcome to the 2012 Emmet O'Neal Library
Summer Reading Kickoff Carnival!

Let's start with the Thomas Hughes Brinkley Memorial Fun Run.
Ready, set, go!

Rounding the final stretch...

...to receive a blue ribbon.

But what happened after the fun run?

Well...we had a carnival!

Officer Burrow takes fingerprints for a child ID kit.

Airbrush tattoos

Don't worry, that'll wash right out.

I think.


Free the beast!

It's a new way to go fishing.

Waiting patiently to be dunked...

POP!

Mmm, trail mix...it's so hard to choose what I want!

Hula hoop contest first place runner up

Train ride

Pin the lantern on the tent...
no, no, on the TENT, not on the alligator!

Choose wisely...

...or else you may get a little surprise.

These two dreamed REALLY big!

And now, the part everyone's been waiting for...


...the ladder is raised...

...and the shower begins!

Ahh, nice and cool.

Waaaahooooo!

Is anybody still dry? Yes?
Well then, we better keep going...

Do you think her shadow is as soaked as she is?
What a great carnival!

Is everyone ready for some big dreams this summer?
I see the dreaming has already started.
Yep. Everybody loves dreaming big at the Emmet O'Neal Library.
