NCE INVITES KATY TO ITS “A KNIGHT AT THE
CARNIVAL,” FRIDAY APRIL 6 TH
MECHANICAL BULL RIDE, BUNGEE RIDE, INFLATABLES, GAMES,
ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD AND SILENT AUCTION
The 2018 Nottingham Country Elementary (NCE) Carnival is coming
on April 6 th , from 5-8:30 PM. Everyone is invited, free of charge, to “Get
Medieval!” The event will transport families to a medieval world of rides,
games, food and entertainment.
Carnival is one of two annual fundraisers for NCE and typically attracts
hundreds of Katy residents and their families. It will take place at the NCE
campus, 20500 Kingsland Blvd. Katy, Texas.
Activities will include many games and rides, including the return of the
Mechanical Bull (a popular medieval pastime) and the Quad Monkey
Bungee Ride, which will send our young royalty soaring high into the
dragon sphere. You can also climb the castle tower (a towering rockclimbing
wall) in a feat of awesome bravery or challenge your fellow lords
and ladies in a race through the kingdom (giant, inflatable, dual-lane
obstacle course) or simply enjoy a leisurely ride through the kingdom on
the king’s trackless train. All guests are invited to win the queen’s favor by
dunking kingdom invaders in the royal Dunking Booth.
Young attendees will enjoy the royal Petting Zoo and every guest can
replenish their supplies of knightly gear at the Carnival General Store.
Kids of all ages will delight in capturing photos with their friends in the
Medieval-themed Photo Booth.
Guests can look forward to the finest of entertainment, including a
performance by the Taylor High School Drumline.
In the food and beverage department, the Carnival will offer a sampling
of culinary delights fit for a king! Chick-Fil-A returns this year, along with
the Chick-Fil-A cow. Pizza and Tutti Frutti for dessert also will be available.
And don’t forget the royal Silent Auction, bound to tantalize with themed
baskets from each NCE class, as well as parties and the ever-popular 5 th
grade basketball game. Previous auctions have included a weekend
getaway in a Galveston condo! Stay tuned to NCE’s Facebook page for
details on this year’s auction items!
Kids are invited to wear Medieval costumes - from knightly armor to
royal robes - to the Carnival, as a reminder to everyone that we are on a
quest to be the best (that’s the NCE Knights’ motto, after all!) Stop by the
Knighting Booth to be knighted and receive your official knight’s name.
And everyone is encouraged to wear their dancing shoes and participate
in the Carnival Dance Contest. Prizes for 1 st and 2 nd place will be awarded!
Volunteers from Taylor High School will be lending a helping hand to this
year’s event and many local businesses have shown their support of NCE
by sponsoring this year’s Carnival. All sponsorship dollars are applied
toward purchases to improve the school. So, mark your calendars and
Let’s Get Medieval at the NCE “Knight at the Carnival” extravaganza on
Friday, April 6 th . We’ll see you at the Nottingham Castle!
