Final harrah for the Holiday Carnival

Band performing at the Holiday Carnival in Balboa Park, December 4, 2010As promised the Parks & Recreation Department, Therapeutic Recreation Services sponsored a great day of activities including some “funky” games, prizes, entertainment, a charming, children’s dance program, a variety of vendors, selling their wares and lots of eats. During the Saturday afternoon fun, the Brass Key & Wind Band led by Lucy Jensen (right) played some great music from the Big Band Era. The group has been performing together for several years….entertaining the masses with sing-alongs, too!

Sadly, this was their final Holiday Carnival. Kathy and her staff can be proud of a great ending to a long history of holiday carnivals which began in 1983.
