Carnival to benefit Warren High athletics

DOWNEY - As Warren High School continues its fall sports programs, second year Athletic Director Russ Heicke mentioned to me that Warren will be hosting a carnival in a few weeks and for me to" get my tickets early."The carnival will be held on Friday, Oct. 19 from 5-11 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 20 from 1-11 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 21 from 1-10 p.m. Proceeds from the carnival will benefit Warren High School athletics and programs. Heicke said there will be "plenty to eat and plenty to do." A 60-foot inverted roller coaster highlights the rides while a mechanical bull and paintball shooting may satisfy other interests. As far as food goes, gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, shaved ice and Menchi's frozen yogurt are on the menu to satisfy appetites while taking a break from the rides. These are just a few of the things to do and eat at the Warren carnival. Carnival attendees are strongly encouraged to buy pre-sale tickets. Pre-sale tickets will be half-priced and are on sale now. Tickets will be more expensive the day(s) of the carnival at the ticket booth. The carnival will be held in the west parking lot facing Paramount Boulevard. Any questions should be directed to Warren High School Athletic Director Russ Heicke at (562) 869-7306 ext. 5806 or his e-mail at rheicke@dusd.net. Warren High School invites friends and families to come out to the carnival and enjoy the festivities while, at the same time, helping support Warren programs and athletics.
