Games, candy, prizes and balloons were wall-to-wall on Dec. 10 in Dallas, Texas. Luke Skywalker, Buzz Lightyear and Jasmine ran around not knowing what to do first. It was a night of fun for children 12 and under in the Dallas congregation, and the parents were running the show. Booths lined both sides of the room containing carnival-type games where the children played for tickets. Once they received enough tickets, they were able to run over to the prize tent and cash in their tickets for toys. This was the second year the Dallas congregation had put on a Costume Carnival for the children. The night began at 6:30 p.m. with open games and balloon animals. Halfway through the night the dessert table opened up, allowing everyone to enjoy the desserts the kids made. The children were asked to enter a dessert contest where everyone wins. Medals were handed out to each child for all his or her hard work. After the dessert break, the game booths opened up again till about 8:30 p.m. By the end of the evening, all the tickets had been turned in and the kids were able to walk out the door with a balloon in one hand and a bag of candy and toys in the other.
