Last week there was an SRC Carnival fundraiser at the Weyburn Comprehensive School and despite poor weather it was a big success! VIDEO further down.

There were several games, events and even a petting zoo put on by various volunteers to help the school raised money for their Breaking Down The Walls program where all of the high school students have an opportunity to get to know other students that they wouldn't normally mingle with. This program is designed to reduce bullying and increase kindness within the school.

One of the many games at the SRC Carnival involved guessing the number of balloons inside of an SUV to win a box full of snacks!

The winner of the contest was Alex Junk, who guessed 106 balloons, which was quite close to the exact number of 105!

Another popular game that raised funds at the Carnival was the Car Smash!

Overall the SRC Carnival was very successful as they drew in more than $2000 for their Breaking Down The Walls program.
