There they are welcome to fraternize with the Scalawags, Tavern Wenches, Belly Dancers and the Devastated Heroes.

Folly Tokens/Pendants and tickets will be available for purchase all weekend for games and activities and food. A Steampunk Costume Contest will be held with the King and Queen of the Carnival crowned during Saturdays festivities. All proceeds will go to the Folly organization and upkeep for future community events.

Many of the local community members are participating in the building and planning of the Carnival.

“People do not have many opportunities to work with their hands and minds,” said Bradley Sanders. “This is a great opportunity for folks to come out and use their imagination and suspend reality for a time. Come on out. You too could have a little fun.”
