Lake County >> Boy Scouts will hold their annual hometown-style carnival at the Lake County Fairgrounds from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
This year’s door prizes will be a 2005 Hyundai Accent from Guy Strohmeier’s Auto center, a new recliner from Allen’s Furniture, a matted hummingbird photo by Deanna and Lyle Madeson, a Steel Roller Coaster sculpture created by Matt Gaulden and more than 20 additional prizes. Participants do not need to be at the carnival to win the door prizes.
Money raised at the event supports activities such as “Pinewood Derby” cars, Scout Camp, Cub Day Camp, backpacking trips and achievement awards.
“The scouts and their families work hard to create and gather fun and sometimes crazy games like Free Willy, chicken fling, toilet bowl tosses and car bashing,” Jane Ruggles said. “Scouts also learn about food service by making pulled pork sandwiches, Indian tacos, nachos, snow cones and cotton candy.”
Admission is free. Activity tickets are available at the ticket booth for five for $1. Pre-sale tickets cost $1 and include a coupon for a $2 discount on a large pizza at almost all pizza restaurants in the county. It also includes a coupon for five activity tickets at the carnival and a chance to win a door prize.

The fairgrounds are located at 401 Martin St. in Lakeport.
