The carnival is sponsored by the Teays Valley Church of God in Scott Depot. "We're expecting 800 people this year. We enjoy the opportunity to connect with the families in Teays Valley. The kids always have a blast. It's our 'back to school' bash for the kids in this area. We appreciate K-Mart being such a great community partner," said Rev. Dr. Melissa Pratt, pastor at the church.
