The community contributes a significant amount of money to the carnival each year. A lot of people and businesses donate equipment, time, machinery and supplies.

We really have to start planning in January. It is a lot of preparation, but once it's all out here, everybody knows what they're supposed to do. And without those inmates, it would be very difficult to put this all up. They help us out tremendously.

There's a possibility that we might actually run this thing. The people who were able to attend the meeting, I would say a majority, would like to run this thing, if we make a penny or not. ... I think it would be therapeutic for Orange.

If we don't raise a lot of money this year, the services we provide will be completely limited. I hope it's not going to be really restricted, but without a carnival I feel it will be.

It's the easiest way to travel and the fastest.
