This year's carnival featured two a-MAZE-ing bouncy houses, numerous games and a cake walk that people will write poems about for years to come.  THANK YOU to all of our sponsors: Roche Harbor, Heritage Bank, The Tooth Ferry, Brandli Law, Kiwanis and David L. Waldron - Architect.   Thank you as well to our hard working volunteers: PrintOnyx, Friday Harbor Drug, Leos, and many, many individuals who helped with the setup, running the booths, and tear down.  It's a hectic, lighthearted fun!  It's also  wonderful to come together for a day to raise some money for Island Rec and see all of the smiling faces.

Island Rec opted to celebrate it's 30th Anniversary at Movies in the Park with photos, contests and Ghost Busters (which is now 30 years-old as well -- yikes!).  This casual and oh-so-fun series was made possible by FANS, expanding to 6 weeks in the late Summer and Fall.  Island Rec's FANS from all over came to celebrate.  Many left with prizes and free popcorn (thank you, ACE Hardware!).

FANS hosted this year's Carnival at the SJC Fairgrounds.  The 2nd annual FANS Carnival offered some good old fashioned family fun!  Kids raced through the 38’ long inflatable Wacky Jr. Obstacle Course and  bounced/slid down the 17’ inflatable slide. Twenty different game booths and lots of prizes to win kept the whole family warm and smiling on a cold November day.  Admission was free and tickets cost $1 each.  All booths cost a single ticket and turns on an inflatable only cost two.
