Carnival takes
place Sunday, June 30 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
NICHOLS,
NY –
As if camels and ostriches weren’t exciting enough, Tioga Downs continues its
‘fun and games’ theme this Sunday with a free summer carnival during live
harness racing, sponsored in part by the Southern Tier Harness Horsemen’s
Association.
The
carnival, which runs from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, will feature a giant inflatable
obstacle course, carnival games and prizes, snow cones, cotton candy, sand art
projects and a horse-themed coloring book giveaway while supplies last.
“We
want a lot of families and their kids to come out and have a good time on
Sunday and enjoy watching the horse races too,” said Guy Howard, President of
the Southern Tier Harness Horsemen’s Association.
“This
is a great example of the type of family-friendly events that can help promote
harness racing to the community when track management and the horsemen’s
association work together as partners,” said Justin Horowitz, Regional Racing
Marketing Manager. “These carnivals were well attended last year and with the
partnership of the STHHA, we’re hopeful it’ll be even bigger this year.”
Sunday’s
carnival also includes face painting, caricature drawings and trackless train
rides.
Live
racing continues at Tioga Downs Friday and Saturday beginning at 6:45 pm and
Sunday at 1:30 pm.
