The Carnival Came To Patchogue
Fire department hosts first-annual carnival in Patchogue
Stunt bikes, gravitrons, and funnel cake had a dominating presence off Sunrise Highway last weekend as part of North Patchogue Fire Department's First Annual Carnival.
Located next to Chuck E Cheese's on the North side of the Sunrise Highway Service Road, the carnival was an easy to find local event for Memorial Day weekend.
A large parking lot was available so that many carnival-goers could conveniently park near the entrance.

Workers were on hand to run the rides and attractions. One highlight was the Dream Catcher, a giant crane-like ride which swung from side to side, while simultaneously swinging in 360 degree circles. There were also stunt shows featuring motorcyclists riding in all directions inside of a dome, running through a revolving apparatus, a magic show, and a faux boxing match between a clown and a boxing kangaroo (the clown didn't get a punch in and lost- all the kangaroo needed to do was hug him).
GRUCCI fireworks lit up the night sky on May 28th and May 30th.
