Hackettstown High School’s Mardi Gras Mini-Carnival to benefit The Arc of Warren County set for March 8

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ (Warren County) – Hackettstown High School’s Key Club will be holding a Mini-Carnival to benefit The Arc of Warren County on Saturday, March 8, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the new gym at the back of the High School (located at 599 Warren Street in Hackettstown).

This event has been a major staple for the Hackettstown community for more than 20 years but had to take a five-year hiatus after COVID-19.

This year’s theme, “Mardi Gras,” is designed for families with elementary school-aged children. Activities will include crafts, games, and more. The Mount Olive Kiwanis Club will sponsor a concession stand for attendees. The Arc of Warren County’s Self-Advocates will conduct a craft with attendees. Donaldson Farms, the Centenary University Alumni Association, and the Centenary Entrepreneurial Institute will also be present. The Hackettstown High School Spring musical cast will perform, and additional high school clubs will be represented.

“The members of The Arc of Warren County community and I are thankful for the dedication that Hackettstown High School’s Key Club has had for our organization for more than 25 years,” said John Whitehead, CEO of The Arc of Warren County. “A special thank you to Key Club Advisor Kaitlyn McSweeney for ensuring this opportunity continues after not being able to take place for several years. This event provides a fun, inexpensive day for families while also supporting individuals who receive services from the Agency.”

Admission is $3 for children ages 3 and older, and activity tickets will be sold for 50 cents per game. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
