THE PAGES OF THE PAST ARE FILLED WITH CARNIVALS ALL OVER THE MERCER COUNTY AREA. HERE'S AN INTERESTING ONE WHERE THE GUYS AND GALS AT THE RUSLING AND WHITE HORSE VFD COMPANYS JOINED FORCES AND HELD THEIR CARNIVAL IN DE COU VFD'S AREA.
THANKFULLY OUR OWN ST. GREGORY THE GREAT PARISH IS KEEPING THE FLAME BURNING WITH THEIR ANNUAL AND VERY SUCCESSFUL SUMMER CARNIVALS. FOR MANY YEARS WHEN I WAS A PARISHIONER AT ST. ANTHONY PARISH, I WAS THE "BILLY BIGELOW" BARKER AT OUR ANNUAL CARNIVAL. AS ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN CARNIVAL WORK WILL ATTEST, IT IS A GREULING ORDEAL; HOT HUMID NIGHTS, UN-EXPECTED PROBLEMS AND IN THE CASE OF ST. ANTHONY, ONE OF THE REASONS CARNIVALS WERE DISPENSED WITH: TROUBLE MAKERS WHO ARE THERE ONLY TO START FIGHTS. A TIP OF THE HAT TO ALL THOSE LOYAL ST. GREG'S PARISHIONERS WHO GIVE SO UN-SELFISHLY OF THEMSELVES EVERY YEAR!
