Not all heroes wear capes… some bring the dumpsters. ♻️💚

A huge thank you to GFL Environmental for their trash & dumpster sponsorship of our Spring Carnival!

This is one of those things most people don’t think about—but it makes a HUGE difference. Keeping the grounds clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone takes real support behind the scenes.

Because of GFL, we’re able to keep the fairgrounds running smoothly all weekend long.

And that matters.

We truly appreciate your partnership and support of our community event!
