We had the honor of participating in The Gym – Boltz’s Family Martial Arts Academy’s Community Carnival in Mendota Heights. Not only did we have a vendor booth at the event, but we also photographed all the fun!

COMMUNITY CARNIVAL

This community carnival was designed to highlight businesses in the community and to bring everyone together. With inflatables, games, power wheel cars, a caricature artist, a dunk tank, food trucks, and more, families were able to support local businesses and connect with their neighbors.
