Rothwell Carnival

Last Saturday was the Rothwell Carnival. The main attraction was a family stunt team. The kids loved to watch the jumps that they performed on their motorbikes etc. Especially, when it involved fire!

During one stunt they asked for volunteers. Many raised their hands and Elaina and Jeremiah were chosen along with 8 other children. Jeremiah was the smallest by far. Do you see where he was laying? Right at the end, in the most dangerous place for when the motorbike would fly over him. All the older kids were too scared and led close to the ramp!!

During the week of the carnival the members of Radio Worldwide (along with the students on the annual radio training course) go on air and broadcast from the event and continue to be on air for the following week.

This was the 601st year of Rothwell carnival, but was probably the last as the organizers are stepping down and there doesn't seem to be anyone willing to take their place. We were pleased that we were able to attend this year, especially if it won't happen again.
