A neighborhood carnival against dystrophy will be held August 3, 1074 at Rt. 2, Colby. Laurie Lynn Kroeplin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luverne Kroeplin will serve as ringmaster, assisted by Lonnie, Billy, Carol and Judy.

The carnival, which begins at 10 a.m., will feature such games as nail pounding, clothes pin games and many more, and all proceeds will go to aid the fight against dystrophy and related diseases afflicting millions.

Last year, in cooperation with the Muscular Dystrophy Associations of America, 42,165 carnivals were held by children across the country, and over $1,259,753 was raised for MDAA’s research and patient services programs.
