Five days of carnival fun became six last week as summer storms interrupted evening activities several times at South Morgan Volunteer Fire Department. Carnival organizers extended the event into Sunday to make up for time lost, especially on Saturday evening when a severe thunderstorm barreled through the region.
Fire department officials cut off entertainment and rides on Saturday, August 31, on what was supposed to be the final night of the carnival, as high winds and heavy rain blew into Morgan County in early evening.
Indoor events like the fire department’s traditional dinner and fundraiser auction continued on Saturday despite the weather.
Snyder’s Entertainment and South Morgan VFD made the decision to offer an additional day of the carnival on Sunday, September 1 to let ticket holders use their ride tickets and to bring back Saturday’s band, The Flashbacks, to play to the crowd.
