GAMES AND RIDES
Each year in June, the Amissville Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department has its annual fundraising carnival from Wednesday to Saturday. People come to test their grit on the Bullet and Sling Shot and enjoy the Merry-Go-Round and other more tame rides. There are prizes for games of chance and games of skill, and the ever-popular Bingo pavilion is filled with patrons.
FOOD
For four nights locals dine at the carnival— enjoying burgers, dogs, bar-b-que, french fries and box dinners featuring chicken. Candied apples, funnel cakes and homemade desserts are the icing on the cake.
PARADE
The Fire Parade is Thursday night. Fire & Rescue Departments from miles around show off their units in the annual parade, sharing the stage with baton twirlers, marching bands, clowns, and even a tractor or two. Kids stay up late, getting the most from the ‘ride all night’ wrist bands, then fall exhausted into bed to rest up for the next night’s excitement.
THE 2021 CARNIVAL CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. GET READY FOR 2022!
