BLUEFIELD, WV (WVNS) – The Bluefield Shriner’s Carnival is underway!
The carnival is one of the many fundraisers the Shriners hold to support those in need. With an influx of people going this weekend, the Shriners encourage visitors to check out the carnival before heading to the Beaver-Graham game on Friday.
Bluefield Shriner’s Club President Ed King speaks highly of all the work the Shriners do. He said fundraisers like this really help change lives.
“The Shriners is the ultimate philanthropy, and we take that very seriously,” King said. “We have a heart and a passion for children. We treat children who have walking disabilities, so we also have a hospital for burn victims.”
The carnival runs through Saturday, August 28 near the TailYard Dog Park on Raleigh Street in Downtown Bluefield, West Virginia. The carnival is open until midnight on Friday and Saturday.
