Carvinal Coming to Westwood
The annual Ambulance Corps carnival starts Tuesday in Westwood Plaza.
The Westwood Ambulance Corps is holding their annual carnival in starting Tuesday.
The carnival will feature a variety of rides, games, food and the dunk tank — who will be in it remains to be seen — from Tuesday until Saturday, according to Florence Berg of the Westwood Ambulance Corps.
This year will be the corps' 21st carnival. The event is a major fundraiser for the volunteer group. The annual tradition started to raise money for a new ambulance, according to Berg. Today, the carnival draws in almost 30 percent of their annual operating income.
