Carnival in Martin



On Tuesday afternoon at the Elementary School in Martin children gathered in the gymnasium to celebrate carnival.

The costumes were wonderful. Lot's of parents came to photograph their children. Teachers were great sports and dressed as a cat, mice, hockey player, even Donald Duck!

The event began as a teacher gave instructions on how to do the Hoki-Pokie and I couldn't sit that dance out.  The music was loud and raucous--just like Carnival music. The children were full of glee and danced and danced and danced. I shared with the photographer that my congregation back home in Wisconsin had just celebrated a Carnival with their children. He smiled and asked "Is it this noisy?" "Sure" I said, "kids are kids."
