VIDEO: Mount Carmel School Gets "Wild"

From Tilt-a-whirl to the teacups to traditional carnival games, Mount Carmel is heading to the Wild West this weekend to raise money for the school.

"Just watching the kids get excited when we brought in the rides Wednesday is the best part," said carnival co-chair Maureen Arnott. "They start jumping up and down and can't wait."

Principal Teresa Anthony said fundraising accounts for 25 percent of the school's revenue, and the Wild West Days is the biggest event of the year.

"It's a great community event that brings families and alums back to the school," she said. "As you can see, it's just a lot of fun."

The event continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
