Saint Rose of Lima Carnival

Saint Rose of Lima Church's annual carnival is happening right now in Miami Shores. Starting Friday, January 26, 2007, to Sunday, January 28.

St. Rose of Lima Carnival

This is a very special community event because parishioners and school families volunteer their weekend to put the carnival together. People attend not only from Miami Shores, but also from other schools and other areas in Miami. The funds raised in the carnival go towards a school and parish fund used to maintain and refurbish the St. Rose of Lima facilities. Community spirit is visible everywhere, booth sponsorship banners are placed all over the carnival, bazaar with all kinds of great stuff for sale, volunteers preparing food and manning booths with different games, 50/50 raffle, wine and beer tent, silent auction with items donated by families and local businesses, picnic area, and not to forget great carnival rides like The Ring of Fire, The Orbit and The Thunder Bolt.

The Ring of Fire

I am happy to announce, or should I say.... confess, that I shared fried dough with my 2-year old today and it was delicious! Ride-tickets and bracelets can be purchased in advance or at the carnival. If you are in the area....don't miss the fun! St. Rose of Lima is located at 415 NE 105^th Street in Miami Shores.

Merry-go-round Fun in the carnival

I love to watch the Merry-go-round and the funny faces some make.

What a face!!! Ines I bet you couldn't get him off that......LOL

Sometimes I miss when mine were that age.

You are quick George! I'm going to try to take some night shots tomorrow night and will add them as well.....they do grow quickly, don't they?

What a fun post!!! Love to see your kids and see the community at large.

The night shots should look great.

And yes they do grow up quick, but now I am looking forward to the grand kids. The great thing about them is you can send them home......LOL

I could just squeeze that kiddo - what a cutie! You have to blow that picture up and frame it. Embarrass him in front of his friends in a few years. What a great piece of localism!

Thanks Chris - it's a fun weekend, deserving of a fun post.

George - you don't look old enough to be a grandpa'....what are you talking about? I can tell you my parents enjoy spoling my kids like there was no tomorrow...and they then send them home.

Dena - you sneaked in....my youngest is a trip! - (he did have his share of temper tantrums today trying to get him off the rides)

You do have cute kids, no arguements.

Ines- THis was a great local post, as well as a great pic of your youngest one... WHooo Hoo!

I love these traveling carnivals! Sometimes they can be rather seedy, but it's definitely one of those National Geographic "Slice of Americana" kodak moments...Gee, you guys sponsored the Ice Cream booth? Did you save any for anyone else?

Beautiful children! A church festival in January... no fair!

Honest to God. WHAT cute kids.

Yes MM... you are right about the festivile in January. Ines is always reminding us of the fact that she lives in paradise and we don't.

:-) Me

Mariana - Thanks - I took about 30 photos of them going around the merry go round in hopes one would be decent, and it was!

Rich - "seedy" is a funny word - I used to not like these very much, but the church is now hiring companies with uniformed workers that are pleasant and friendly. The kids have a blast! I will have some ice-cream on your behalf today!

Maureen - not that I'm rubbing it in, but the weather yesterday was incredible, it was 60 degrees (which I admit was a little chilly for us....that's why you see some long sleeve shirts) with sunny and clear skies. Today we're already up to the 70's.

Craig - Yes SIR! We do live in paradise....come visit some time, would love to have you.

WOW, THANKS FOR SHARING, CAN WE ALL COME NEXT TIME?

It's not over yet Bob, you can join us today and tomorrow if you'd like!

It's nice to see you support the local parish. Did the Knights of Columbus do anything for the carnival?

Hey Brian - I just checked out your Knights of Columbus post - really nice to know you are part of the organization. As for them doing anything for The St. Rose Carnival, I really don't know. I will ask today and will give you an answer.

Ines....

Man...That youngest one is absolutely adorable. He really is. Thanks for sharing all of this with us :)

I love carnivals but, the big bad mean Broker does not :)

We really have to get down to Miami. I want to hold that little boy and make him giggle :)

P.S. Email notification for AR was fixed this morning. We're good to go :)

Ines...Your boys are so cute! We don't have any cool carnivals around here...I'm living in the wrong area...that looks like so much fun!!!

TLW - I am so glad the comment notification was fixed, I was going nuts! I am sure my little one would love for you to make him giggle too - I hope you can come down soon!

Monika - it is GREAT FUN! and for a good cause.

Hi Ines.. nice post and pictures. You're lucky I did find about it earlier.. you know you only live 2 or 3 appraiser blocks from me!!! BTW, I wanted to commend you on your quality of photos on Localism.com. They are truly contributing, with great shots and informative comments. Wish I could say the same for other spammers that are uploading for measily points. have I told you guys that YOU ROCK!! lately?

Cute kids, btw way!! :))

Nick - 2 or 3 appraiser blocks - you are too much! (that's about 50 miles away, right?) - thanks for the praise about my pix - I try to only include quality ones, I have seen quite a few strays in there - I hope the guys ask the owners to delete them, it really takes away from the whole concept of Localism.

The carnival is up until 11:00 PM tonight, it's not too late! (and I did eat that elephant ear on your behalf, by the way)

JUST ADDED SOME NIGHT PIX!

Hey Ines.. how did you know about 50 miles?.. (more like 60-70, depending).. did you look me up since you know my last name?? hhmm are you i-stalking me? hee heeee You like the 2 or 3 appr blocks thingy? :))

I still have the South Florida Fair, so understand if I pass!! I liked the night pics also. You have a good eye for photos!

Yes NICK - I am i-stalking you.....ask TLW....I love to stalk....at least the fun people here....I follow you around AR. BTW - you could hold a gun to my head right now, and I could not remember your last name, except with a bunch of ss's and i's and Italian sounding. BAM! I would be dead on the floor.

big fat steak by nick the appraiser oohhh.. you are so treading on thin ice!!! giving out hints like that.!!! :)))

ps. i just sent you an email.

PS. time to cook a little steak, argentine style!!

You guys do such great work on covering your local area... I am making a you feature for the ALL THINGS FLORIDA Group. Keep up the great work and pics.

OMG Nick - that is the funniest picture - I don't like to look at raw meat - I'm sorry (but I love those Argentine steaks!) mmmm!

Thanks Jason - you're doing a great job with the Florida group - thanks for your hard work.
