When I first saw a "carnival" in the Crossroads Mall parking lot a few years ago, I thought "how strange, why there?  I also heard a few people I know wondering the same thing.  Since that first time a few years ago, the carnival has been set up in the parking lot outside of Macy's and Target a few times, and much to my surprise, it has been pretty successful.

The carnival in the parking lot is coming back again.  And obviously it's popular, or they wouldn't keep doing this.  And I will admit, that when the weather has been nice, and I have had to run to Target for this or that, the rides have all been going, with people enjoying both those and the fair food which is generally available as well.

WHEN WILL THE CARNIVAL BE BACK?
