Carnevale 2012 - February 25, 2012
Thank you very much to the lively group of parents and children who attended the 7th annual Festa di Carnevale. YOU make the event so much fun year after year!
This year’s event, took guests back to the early days when the event had more traditional children’s games and activities. Perennial favorite, BJ the Clown, was invited back and once again, he delivered his own entertaining high jinks for all to enjoy. I do believe the parents like him as much as the kids!
Our sincere thanks to Teacher’s Monica and Lara for their time spent preparing for Carnevale, and to the parent volunteers, who helped with games. The kids enjoyed many hilarious games such as the Mummy Game, where they were wrapped head to toe in toilet paper; the Clementine Dance, a two-person race with an orange; Freeze Dance, exactly as the name implies; and Tombola, Italian language bingo.
Special thanks to Chris Germano Photography for the amazing photos and Staccato Gelato for the delicious homemade gelato, and to all of our generous auction contributors who support Scuola Italiana di Portland at Carnevale time and throughout the year. Your help makes it possible for us to share the Italian culture and language with more and more people every year. We truly value your partnership and encourage our guests and supporters to patronize your outstanding businesses!
We look forward to seeing you at Carnevale next year,
Grazia Solazzi, Board President
