MADISON – Games, shopping, delicious food and entertainment combined for a day of fun and fundraising at the Spring Carnival at West Madison Elementary School.Students in each grade at West Madison sponsored a different carnival game, a mainstay of the event throughout the years, PTA President Angie Enderton said.

“Madison is a thriving community, and our schools provide impeccable facilities, programs and staff that support the children living here,” Enderton said. “West Madison PTA strives to raise money for the betterment of our entire school.”

Kindergartners presented floating ducks for easy prizes. The first-grade classes opted for a comical game of toilet paper toss.

Youngsters tried their luck at the fishing pond, courtesy of West Madison second-graders. The third grade staged a boat race. Fourth-graders adapted the concept of a catapult to the “Frog-a-Polt.” Sixth-grade classes held a football throw.

In other amusements, the children enjoyed jumping in a bounce house, while the adults tried their luck at winning on the cake walk. Bingo, a perennial favorite at West Madison, drew a crowd to hope for a winning call.

For entertainment, the Tennessee Ukulele Club presented their unique sounds of the tropics. A dance group, Hula Halau Na Pua O’ Camila, shared their interpretation of the islands. The roster also included a three-man band and vocalist Evan.

About 20 vendors sold their merchandise that ranged from nail finishes to hair bows. Jamberry, Perfectly Posh, Scentsy and Young Living had booths at the carnival. Other vendors were The Irish Crafter & The Irishman’s Princess, Lularoe, Bows by Sara, Usborne Books, Petrina’s Pots ‘n Petals, Jumpy Jewls and Origami Owl.

Individuals took advantage of food trucks for a hearty lunch. Badd Newz BBQ, Local J’s, Marco’s Pizza, The Food Truck and Nikol’s Cookies set up at the event. Serving beverage and dessert were trucks with Ice Work, What’s Popp’n, Piper & Leaf Tea and The Juicery.

Other officers of West Madison PTA are treasurer Ricki Schwartz, vice president of volunteers Kelechi Okwu and vice president of programs Beth Green.
