THANKS FOR A GREAT CARNIVAL!!!

We just wanted to say a big THANKS to some special individuals and businesses who made this year's Welch Field Carnival in memory of Stacy Holland possible! It was a very special day that turned out to be another great event with over 300 people attending! It continues to be even more special, as it now has become to tradition to name the Welch Field Carnival in memory of Stacy Holland. Thank you to Stacy's family for allowing us to honor her in this way and specifically to Dawn Stanton & Amanda Perdue for making snow cones and donating the proceeds of their sales to the Recreation Department!

A big thanks to the following businesses for being sponsors of this year's carnival: Full Strength Coffee Company, Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate, Inner Lakes FCU, Myers Masonry & Chimney, Portage Pie, Quagliana’s Bark Grill, Simpson Electric, Tony’s Shoe Repair, Westfield Auto Body, Westfield Family Dental, Westfield Nursery, and the Westfield Optical Studio!! We would also like to thank Wells Enterprises of Dunkirk for their special donation of ice cream!

We also had over 20 individuals make either monetary or candy donations and we want to say a HUGE THANKS to all of them!! We had a list going, but unfortunately, we did not get some people's names, and we don't want to put out an incomplete list. So once again, if you donated to this year's carnival, THANK YOU!

We also want to give a big thanks to Lynn Dimmer of Bounce About Inflatables, Nannette Knappenberger and Sydney Luce of Allen Dale Farms, Sharon Friedman of Fantasy Facepaint, Leo Wilson of Gelati's Italian Ice, Maitland Langworthy of Serving Up Smiles Ice Cream, Byron Woods of Best of Buffalo By Byron and Val Thomas, Julie Kowal and the rest of the volunteers from the Patterson Library for enhancing this year's carnival and making it an even more special affair by providing us with delicious food and awesome entertainment!!

A special thanks to our amazing first responders in Westfield. Thanks to Jacob Alonge, Dave Walker and the Westfield Fire Department for stopping by with their Fire Truck to help us cool the kids off with their hose! Thanks to Police Chief Wozneak, Officer Meleen, and Officer Villafrank for hanging out throughout the Carnival and enhancing the experience for all of our kids!!

Finally, a MASSIVE THANKS to all of our volunteers who helped our staff put on this year's carnival. Thank you to James Ruch, Ella Atkins, Jamadi Rivera, Nahlia Douglas, Meredith Lendt, Noah Tuah, Olivia Kapple, Sara Kelwaski, Annabelle Thies, Tyler Jaynes, and Kylie Post! A SPECIAL THANKS to John Emmons and John Bini who planned this year's carnival and did a little bit of everything to make it possible!!!

We look forward to next year's carnival and to the opportunity to continue to honor Stacy Holland in the future!!!
