Carnival of Caring - a recap

Last Sunday the Shorebirds held their first annual Carnival of Caring in conjunction with the United Way. Here's just a few photos from the event, mostly of the booths where groups put themselves before the public eye.

For these organizations, they got the chance to build a little bit of awareness - unfortunately, the attendance Sunday was a little on the small side, just 2,092. But it's 2,000 more people that know a little bit about the services provided by these fine charities and groups than maybe knew about them before coming in. I also enjoyed the fact I could get in two hours before game time on a nice day and snap a few extra Shorebirds pics - one of them was of tonight's Shorebird of the Week.

Being a first-time event, I'm sure the Carnival of Caring will get bigger and better as the seasons progress. Also encouraging is seeing these two fine community organizations who both deal with hundreds of thousands of Delmarva citizens a year teaming up to promote and strengthen each other.
