Donations make carnival something to read about

The Kenai Peninsula Reading Council would like to thank the many volunteers and organizations that helped to make the fourth annual Reading Carnival such a success. About 1,000 people from across the Kenai Peninsula attended the carnival and enjoyed a variety of fun and educational activities tied to reading and literacy.

We would like to thank the following organizations and businesses for their financial support of this event: Agrium, Alaska State Literacy Association, Alaska USA Federal Credit Union, Beemun’s Variety Store, city of Soldotna, ConocoPhillips Alaska, Fred Meyer, Home Depot, Peninsula Clarion, Spenard Builders Supply, Three Bears and Wells Fargo.

We would also like to thank the many dedicated volunteers who made this event possible, including teachers, librarians, parents, community members, local public and private schools and students from Kenai Central High School and Soldotna High School. Special thanks also go to Soldotna High School, Central Emergency Services, Soldotna Rotary Club, Triumvirate Theater and the Kenai Performers “Beauty and the Beast” cast members.

Many thanks to everyone involved, and we hope to see you at the carnival next year.
