An error in last week’s Enterprise led to some confusion about the day/dates for two of the year’s biggest events, and here are the details:

The Annual Malad Elementary PTO Carnival will be held on Thursday at the Event Center.  The Carnival has over the years been a massive night of involvement from the community, with treats, games, Halloween fun, and a perfect chance for kids to try out their costumes and make sure that they are the right ones for the big day.  For the last few years, the Carnival has been held at the Event Center and Fairgrounds, which have been great venues for creating a number of different activities for the evening.  Food and game are held inside the Event Center, with a Haunted House, Maze, and a variety of Midway games outside on the grounds themselves.   People watching will be held everywhere.  The Carnival officially starts at 6:00 p.m., and runs until 8:00 p.m.  Punch cards for games and events will be available on site.  

The annual fundraiser for the Oneida Crisis Center will be held on Friday, also at the Event Center.  This year, the fundraiser comes in the form of a Dueling Pianos concert.  The Dueling Pianos team show is a dynamic event where two amazing piano players will entertain the audience through skilled virtuoso play, comedic banter, and by incorporating audience requests into the performance.  In addition to the show, the night will include a dinner, raffle, and mystery grab bags!  The event was designed this year to replace the Gala that had been a staple of the February part of the calendar.  Following the change in directorship from Holly Llewellyn to Malena Jimenez, a change in the yearly fundraising event was also decided upon.  The yearly event is one of the primary sources of raising funds for the Center during the year, and all who support the important work of the Oneida Crisis Center are invited and welcomed to the show on Friday.  Tickets are available at the door, and include the taco and dessert bars as well as the performance.   

You can call (208) 766-4412 or email [email protected] for more information about tickets.  The event is at 7 p.m.

Make sure that these two important community fundraising events are on your calendar.  If you have any doubts, these are the right dates—Carnival Thursday, Dueling Pianos Friday.
