It was one of those events where everyone went home happy and with a prize. The High Prairie Municipal Library held its annual Penny Carnival Aug. 10 to the delight of well over 100 children who attended. Games of chance and skill kept attendees busy for two hours. The carnival is never held in an attempt to make money but to provide children with a fun activity in summer.
