Book Description

July 1, 1994
The Carnival Handbook is a detailed "how to" book on organizing and running a carnival for fundraising purposes for schools, churches, service clubs and other organizations. It teaches you how to be money ahead even before your carnival begins. We netted over $12,000 on our first carnival before we even knew what we were doing. The book is well organized with precise details on the mechanics of putting on a well-run event.

The Carnival Handbook tells you how to organize the event, all about permits, how many committees to set up and exactly what each committee is supposed to do. This book is the ultimate guide for this type of fundraiser.


Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Dr. Rick Espinosa is an optometrist in the Los Angeles area whose four children went through the La Cañada Unified School District in California. He could not find any written material at all on organizing a fundraiser of the magnitude of an all-out carnival. As a result of his seven years experience in chairing carnivals for his children's high school, he wrote this book in an effort to help others raise money for worthwhile causes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Booking a Carnival, December 24, 2002
By 
glenn hester (Brunswick, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Carnival Handbook (Paperback)
I have looked at this book from a law enforcement perspective. Some of the games mentioned are crooked or gambling games. I inspect carnival games and teach this to other cops. If I came upon some of the games mentioned for the different events, someone would go to jail for gambling and fraudulent operations. On the other hand, this does show one how to set up such an event for your fundraiser. I would hope that those who follow this advice ask law enforcement which games should be played and which they should shy away from.

This review is from: The Carnival Handbook (Paperback)
I'm the owner of a party rental business, and this book is a god-send for my customers who've been thrown into the position of running their own school or church fund-raiser. There are detailed step-by-step instructions that really make it easy.

I highly recommend this book to all my customers because it has so many great organizational tips for planning and running special events.
