The carnival came to town Wednesday evening, and it all benefited a good cause. The Darien High School Community Council put on the schools annual carnival, featuring food, games, music and activities for children. All profits go to the Haiti Relief Fund.
In addition to the $10 admission, DHS students set up various booths to raise additional money for Haiti. Some keyed into some of lifes simple pleasures, such as a bake sale, cotton candy booth and a Guitar Hero competition. A fair number, however, profited off the selfless willingness of Darien High School students to humiliate themselves. There was the classic carnival stand-by, the dunk tank, as well as stations where those with the inclination could pay to fling rugby balls or pies at DHS students. Still, it was all for a good cause.
Student band Tone provided the music, playing a wide array of styles, from Taking Care of Business and The Ghostbusters Theme. DHS seniors Kenny Weiss, Nick Trautmann, Chris Stovall and Alex Wildish handled the instruments, while junior Elizabeth Wildish added her vocals.
