Rides, Games, Food and Fun…For A Cause
July 13, 2023
• An overview of what to expect at this year’s carnival and what the fundraiser benefits.
Summer was made for carnivals. Walking around between the games while kids thrill to the rides. The sight of the colored lights while the aroma of popcorn and fried dough tempts you. Seeing a familiar place transformed into something new and exciting transports you back to those carefree days of childhood, no matter what your age. The Rotary Club of Needham has brought that tradition to Needham over the past few years. For those who come to indulge in the experience, it does not have to be a guilty pleasure. Proceeds from the event are going to several Rotary causes. We spoke with Rotarian Bill Paulson about what makes this year’s attraction so exciting.
