The Mountville Days Carnival is sponsored by the Mountville Fire Company No. 1. This is our largest fundraiser event of the year and this event allows us to continue to support the community and provide emergency service protection to the residents we serve. It’s no secret that the cost of doing business is increasing all around us and this is no different for the Fire Departments. We maintain the same bills and services a normal business would such as water, Sewer, Electric, Mortgage, Vehicle loans along with purchasing specialized fire gear. Did you know that to full equip a firefighter with protective equipment needed to do the job is over $6,000.00 A PERSON.

Yes, HOWEVER this is discouraged. We are encouraging all teenagers to be accompanied by an adult, and the ride vendor DOES reserve the right to refuse sale of ride tickets if there is not a guardian present. We want this to remain a fun and enjoyable time for our community and ask that teenagers be supervised while at the event. Any child that is caught acting inappropriately or misbehaving will be asked to leave the carnival ground without warning and will not be permitted back on the grounds for the duration of the event.
