Millis Recreation hosted its annual Millis Summer Carnival over the weekend of June 28 to June 30.
Complete with games, fried dough, and rides, the carnival was a hit amongst teens and children who were celebrating the start of summer. Rides included a Ferris wheel, carousel, alpine slide, and several others. Many brave kids on these rocky rides exclaimed they were “only going to ride the Pharaoh’s Fury once” but often went back two or three times for the swing-boat style ride.
Fanelli Amusements provided Millis with the traditional carnival experience, and the Millis fire and police departments facilitated the event “making it all seem flawless” as stated by the Millis Recreation Department on Instagram @millisrec.
Additionally, local sponsors including Middlesex Savings Bank, Charles River Bank, Tresca Brothers, Roche Brothers Supermarket, and John Corcoran made several significant donations allowing for a fireworks display on Saturday night. All of the funds raised by the event will be used to pay for carnival-related expenses and for future recreation programs within Millis such as Summer Concerts & Cornhole held behind Millis Town Hall each Wednesday in August at 6:30 p.m.
