I am again amazed at the hard work our students have invested in the Thurtene carnival. We go every year and have yet to be disappointed.

Yes, there is the usual array of carnival people operating rides whose thrills are as much due to their state of disrepair as to their disregard of gravity. But the shows and the food, performed and cooked by our very own students, are top-rate, and it's clear a lot of time was spent on this.

I applaud the students for this hard work for charity, and I hope you get a chance to see the results of their good work.

The festivities continue today (Sunday) 11 AM to 8 PM.
