Merritton Lions Club Labour Day Carnival

The festivities commence Friday evening as the food starts to sizzle, the games start to get played and the midway rides start to turn.

Take a stroll through community park and enjoy all the unique trinkets and treasures offered by local craftsman and small business owners.
