Carnival and Raffle Return to St. Patrick's in Bedford

The Ferris Wheel. Bumper Cars. Cotton Candy. Sausage and Peppers. Everyone’s favorite rides and fun foods return to the St. Patrick’s Parish Carnival, to be held on the grounds of St. Patrick’s School in Bedford, NY, May 16-21, 2017. A complete schedule of times and dates can be found at www.stpatricksbedford.org/carnival.

The annual event, which celebrates 43 years this year, is a fundraiser for the Parish and its educational and charitable ministries, and includes a raffle. This year’s prize is a three-year lease of a 2017 Lexus RX350 or $25,000 cash.

“We are so excited to be able to offer participants the opportunity to drive away with a luxury vehicle,” said Carnival Co-Chair Guy Carlsen. “We hope that the community will be excited to participate in the chance to win a Lexus while supporting a great cause.” The price per ticket is $100 and only 1,000 tickets will be sold. Lexus of Mount Kisco will provide the vehicle. Tickets may be purchased at the Parish Cenacle or at the Carnival.

In addition, sponsorships are now open! This is a great way for local families and business to be a part of the fun -- besides going down the giant slide or riding the giant swing -- by having their name included as an event sponsor.

Individual/Family sponsorships start at just $50. Ride sponsorships start at $500 and include a sponsor-supplied sign on the side of the ride. Many sponsorships include incentives, such as discounts on rides and listing in the parish bulletin, among other benefits.
