The west parking lot of Memorial Stadium will be transformed into a miniature amusement park Friday as the 51st annual Fun Frolic comes \ninto town.\nThe Fun Frolic, hosted by Cumberland Valley Shows, will be open nightly from June 13 to 21. It will feature food, games and a variety of rides for young children and thrill seekers alike.\nWith the rise in gas prices this summer, Associate Development Director Lee Ann Jourdan cites the low prices and close location as excellent reasons to visit the carnival.\n“I think it’s something close to home that people can do together as a family,” she said. “Especially with a lot of people foregoing vacations this year, this will be a close to home thing people can do to have fun.”\nA portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana and IU Campus Child Care Services.
\nWhat: Fun Frolic\nhen: 6 p.m. June 13, 16-20; and 5 p.m. June 14, 15 and 21. Closing time varies depending on attendance and weather, but is generally between 11 p.m. and midnight each night. \nWhere: West lot, IU Memorial Stadium\nFor information about ticket prices, call BBBS at 334-2828 ext. 223 or visit www.bigsindiana.org/events/funfrolic.php.
