Gardens at Lake City had a back-to-school carnival today open to the public. The event was entirely free and featured games, a clown, a bounce house, snow cones and lots of food as well as numerous door prizes that were donated.

In addition, four backpacks filled with school supplies were given as door prizes to guess. The goal was to provide meaningful pursuits to both residents and members of the community.

The event was a huge success that residents will be talking about for months to come.
