Children were busy and excited at the 28th annual Penny Carnival at the High Prairie Municipal Library on Aug. 8. The carnival attracted 311 people. Children of all ages had a fun time at seven stations, that included Spin to Win, Mini Golf, Gone Fishing, Basketball Toss, Egg Hunt, face painting and a station where children could play Snakes and Ladders on a blanket game board and Connect 4.
