CRESTVIEW — The carnival's at Old Spanish Trail Park through Sunday with traditional rides, midway games and all that great carny food. Armband sales benefit North Okaloosa REACT.
REACT — Radio Emergency Associated Communications Team — was founded in 1962 to provide emergency communications via citizens band radio.
"It started as CB radio back then but now it's branched out to all kinds of communications," chapter President Larry Woolley said.
The north Okaloosa County chapter was chartered in October 2011 and provides communications for community events, organizations and emergencies, Woolley said.
The carnival will be open 1 to 11 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. until closing Sunday. Admission is free and ride armbands are $25.
"Being the weather is so good, I think we're going to do petty good," Woolley said.
