Carroll Community College Hosts 4th Annual Family Fun Fest
Carroll Community College (Carroll) will host the 4th annual Family Fun Fest on Saturday, April 25th from 10 a.m.– 2 p.m. on its Westminster campus located at 1601 Washington Road. This outdoor event is free and open to the public.
The event will feature inflatables, drone simulations, face painting, tie-dye T-shirts, sidewalk chalk art, a circus performance, a scavenger hunt, and a host of many other engaging activities. Children will also have the opportunity to explore emergency vehicles, watch bomb detection and K-9 patrol demonstrations, meet a deputy and patrol vehicle, and visit a local fire truck staffed by firefighters who will share fire safety tips.
In partnership with Penguin Random House and the Carroll County Public Library, we will host story times featuring beloved storybook characters. Penguin Random House will also provide free books for readers of all ages.
Children will have the opportunity to meet “Esteban the Magnificent” from the Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers stories, and explore a storybook trail featuring The Berenstain Bears Go to Camp by Stan and Jan Berenstain.
“All proceeds from the Family Fun Fest support scholarships for Kids@Carroll and Teen College, as well as the Carroll Food Locker, programs that make a real difference in our community,” said Caitlin Christ Executive Director of Institutional Advancement and College Foundation.
“We would love for those visiting the campus to take the opportunity to learn more about Carroll Community College! We will have information on programs in welding, automotive technology, nursing, early childhood education, and more,” said Dr. Rose Mince President at Carroll.
