Community Purim Carnival Today at MNJCC

The MilesNadalJCC at Spadina and Bloor is holding a Community Purim Carnival today.

And I quote:

"Make some noise at our annual Purim Carnival! Lots of zany fun including a 'pie in the face' game, Hockey Night in Shushan, Karaoke, mini-putt and much more.
Get creative with henna drawings, arts and crafts and you can make your own Mishloach Manot! Hamentashen and other tasty treats will be on sale. This Sunday from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm in the MNjcc Gymnasium.
Fun for everyone at only $5 per person or $10 per family. See you there!"
The Purim carnival link above also has a good explanation of Purim and why its celebrated.

Enjoy!
