Tuckahoe's Immaculate Conception annual School Year-End Carnival is underway. The festivities kicked off Thursday and will run up until Sunday. For those of you who have never been, the festival is a great place take kids on amusement rides, play games and chow down on some delicious food.
"It's just good for the community, especially during these tough economic times," said Immaculate Conception Rev. Eric Raaser. "People come and enjoy -- there's laughter -- and it's not that expensive. Everyone enjoys the rides and the food is very good. Just to have that camaraderie of the people. It's important to us, especially since there is so much sadness in the world. With little things like this, it's good to enjoy life"
The cash that is made from the carnival is used to fund Immaculate Conception school's future projects. This year, organizers have brought in a ferris wheel, carousel, and other rides.
The hours are 1 to 5 p.m. today.
