About 400 people attended the Kiwanis Karnival sponsored by the Lincoln Center Kiwanis Club in April at Elliott Elementary. Eleven 4-H clubs created and staffed 14 game booths. Teen Council members ran Bingo for adults and staffed a booth. Lincoln Center Kiwanians served hot dogs, chips and ice cream.
Lorene Bartos, Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County Emeritus and Lincoln Center Kiwanis member, said, “It was another great event for Elliott School families, 4-H families and Kiwanis. Elliott families enjoyed the free evening of family activities and expressed their thanks. It is always great to see the wonderful games 4-H’ers develop and staff. The leadership skills and community service given by the 4-H families is exceptional. Thanks to all who participated and shared their time and talents.”
Chris Christensen, Elliott teacher and Lincoln Center Kiwanis member, said, “Kiwanis Karnival this year was one of the largest at Elliott I’ve ever seen. Families shared that it was amazing. All the families spoke highly about the activities, Bingo and time spent at the school as a family.”
