MILFORD, MA — The Milford Health Department is making a pretty tempting offer to local residents: Anyone who gets a coronavirus vaccine will get unlimited free rides at this weekend's carnival at Fino Field.

The health department will bring a mobile vaccine clinic to the carnival on Friday and Saturday. Anyone who gets inoculated there will get the free ride pass — about a $45 value. Coronavirus shots are free also.

The Fino Field carnival, sponsored by New Hampshire-based Fiesta Shows, opens Thursday and runs through Sunday night. The carnival will feature food, games and all the wild rides you can think of (see a full list here).
