The Montana-based Dreamland Carnival has set up shop in Great Falls, offering residents a chance to enjoy carnival attractions before the Montana State Fair begins next week.
Tim McGonigal reports:
Located at 3028 10th Avenue South next to the Flamingo Lounge, the carnival features food, rides, and games, including thrill rides like the Frenzy and Vertigo.
Part of the carnival proceeds will benefit Toys For Tots of North Central Montana, which provides Christmas toys for children in need.
Corday Podvin of Toys for Tots of North Central Montana said "There's a lot of kids that, you know, they don't get a Christmas. They don't get to wake up to something under their Christmas tree. Some of them don't even have the Christmas tree, so it's really nice to have us to come in. Ask for the help or be there to help them."
While many associate Toys for Tots with the holiday season, organizers emphasize that the need for assistance exists year-round.
The carnival runs through Sunday, opening at 4 p.m. on weekdays and 1 p.m. on the weekend.
Admission is free; wristbands are $35.
