By June 7th marked our second annual Norwood Children’s Carnival, co-hosted with Woven Oak Initiatives, and it was a success! This year, we moved the carnival to Upper Millcrest Park, spreading our games, activities, and delicious food over the entire area. Between the shade of the trees, the lovely weather, and the access to all the amenities of the park, we couldn’t have asked for a better day for a carnival. We began to set up around noon, and were blessed by so many of our friends who came and helped carry tables, start the grill, and set up the games.
