SHORT CITY, Del.- We celebrate almost 100 years! The Sharptown Firefighters Carnival returns on August 3rd.
Carnival fans come from all over the area, even out of state, to try the famous oyster sandwiches and gyros.
The park and admission are free. But proceeds from ride tickets and food sales benefit the Sharptown Volunteer Fire Department.
“For equipment. Fire equipment is expensive, fire trucks are expensive. Anything to help our dive team, our EMS, our administrative side of it. It all goes back to the Fire Department so that we can help the community as best we can,” said Damian Jones, president of the fire department.
Many fan favorites are returning. But new this year, is a roller coaster called the Wocky Worm.
The carnival is open on Thursdays at 7. It runs until August 27.
