Did you know that the annual Mount Airy Volunteer Fire Company Carnival has been held almost every year since 1926? Join us in this online program where we will dive into the history of this unique town event, which for years included a jousting tournament! We will share facts and anecdotes about past carnivals as well as hold a virtual tour of nearby Wildwood Park, the site of the carnival from 1927 to 1942.
