🚨 The community has asked for a carnival at Ashland Summer Days for years. We are trying but we need your help!!
🎡 All of the carnivals we have contacted will cost at least $10,000. This is a lot of money for our little festival that relies mostly on the donations of businesses in our community.
💵 We have started fundraising efforts and we currently have $2000 saved to go toward our carnival.
☀️ We are planning some fundraisers in the coming months to help and we will keep you updated on our progress!
💰 We will accept any donations from the community outside of our planned fundraisers. Message our page or call 217-370-4328 if you would like to make a donation!

Let’s Make Ashland Great Again with a carnival in 2026!
