FRASER — The Fraser Lions Carnival once again brought summer fun to Steffens Park, running July 18-21 this year.
The carnival featured rides, food, vendors and a cornhole tournament. The event featured live music from Flannel Waste, Kathryn & the Lonely Days Band, East Side Willy & the Motor City Hippies, Svnth Son, Rock-n-Roll Prep School and Sinjon Smith. A parade rolled down Garfield between Fraser High School and City Hall. The four-day event was capped off by fireworks on Sunday night.
Derek Damico, the carnival’s chair, said this year’s event went well despite a bit of rain.
“Everything went off really smoothly,” Damico said. “We didn’t have any real big issues or anything like that. It was a fun and safe event.”
Damico said while the final figures are not in for the proceeds raised, the carnival and beer tent sales were up from last year. He stressed that all the Lions members who worked the event were volunteers.
“It was definitely a successful event,” Damico said.
