ALBION – Bullard Park will host its annual summer carnival this Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Last year the event was opened to children from throughout Orleans County, not just Albion. About 350 kids attended last year.

Christina Nenni from Best of Tymes Party Rentals will be back with bounce houses. A $5 wrist band gets attendants in and includes free lunch for kids, provided by the Royal Body Shop Ministries and Albion’s Masonic Lodge.

Lunch for adults, which includes a hot dog or hamburger, French fries and a drink is $5. Lunch will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event also includes kid’s activities, carnival games and music. Mike Seege will present “Say No to Bullying” Magic Show, which is free to all.

Best of Tymes will sell snow cones for $2 and popcorn, soda or water for $1 each. Lyncoln Bear and Buddies will be on site, as well.

The splash pad and playground will be open all day.

The Village of Albion concert series also will shift from the downtown to Bullard Park from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. with The Who Dats performing.

The concert is free to the public and will include food and alcohol vendors.
