A family-friendly construction-themed carnival will take place in Ardmore on Saturday, June 24. The event will begin at 9 a.m. and run until noon.
During the day, attendees will get to tour a live construction site and get up close to construction equipment like dump trucks and excavators.
The first stop, however, will be pucciManuli (35 Cricket Ave.), where the first 300 kids will receive a complimentary hard hat and a swag bag. Attendees can also register for giveaways at the shop.
Big-ticket prizes being given away include a family four-pack of tickets to Diggerland, a $100 gift certificate to LuLu's Casita, a $100 gift certificate to pucciManuli, construction gear from Harkins Builders and a $100 gift certificate to McCloskey's.
Then, after touring the construction site, kids can play at one of the themed activity stations.
