Carnival for Charity!


It's that time again!

The Riverbend Ranch Charity Carnival is the exciting family project of the Eric Kjeldgaard family.

In 2007, desiring for their children to have a practical way to help those in need, Eric and Lisa came up with the idea of the carnival to raise funds for orphans and widows around the world. James 1:27 is the guiding verse for the carnival:

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

Aside from raising money for worthwhile charities, the carnival desires to create a day of Old Fashioned fun in a safe, God honoring environment.



This year's carnival will also include the added benefit of the very talented Christian bluegrass band, the Wintons who are coming all the way from Redding, CA to donate their time, talent and CD sales for this great cause. We can't wait to meet them in person.





Our family will be manning the craft booth again this year. So, come out and make a craft with us; win a cake at my sister's famous cake walk or dunk some really fun friends. It's sure to be a great family time for all.


Hope to see you there!


Blessings,
Rebecca

  3. Can't wait! That cake walk sounds awesome! ;-) I hope I don't eat them all before we get there.

    Looking forward to meeting the Wintons!

  4. HA! Yes, that would be a bummer to be handing out cake I-OWE-YOU's to all the winners... "Um, that's as good as a real cake. You have my word on it."

    Let's not eat them. : )

    Love you sis!

  5. Oh, I wish I could come! It would of course help if we lived on the same side of the world. :) Hope it's a great success!!

  7. We made 4 and ate 1. That's not too bad. :-)

    We actually planned to make one for ourselves, so it's not quite the loss of self control it might sound like.

    We have 2 more to make today. We are soooo excited!

    Love you more!

  8. Thank you ladies. I wish you all could come too. For those in Northern CA, please consider coming out! It's a really fun day.


    Good idea Liz! How can you smell baking cakes all day and not share the spoils with the little ones? Glad we can make this blog the official cake making/ eating headquarters. Please keep us posted. : )


    Love you the most!
