At 6 p.m. Thursday, Moore’s Greater Shows will open its carnival on the lot of Big Creek Crossing, 2918 Vine.

The carnival will be open from 6 to 10 p.m. daily through Sunday.

On the first day, a buy-one-get-one special will be offered from 7 to 10 p.m. on wristbands for $25, and regularly priced the following days.

Tickets for the rides are set at $1, with most rides costing four to five tickets, according to Branson Hoffman, BCC marketing director.

“There will be roughly 25 attractions,” said James Younger, BCC property manager. “The rides will vary from smaller more toddler-friendly rides to thrill-seeking rides for teenagers as well.”

Specials will be offered at many of the stores in Big Creek Crossing in conjunction with the carnival.

“The carnival has always been a really big attraction for our property,” Younger said. “It’s something the public really enjoys, and we really enjoy bringing a little bit of fun and enthusiasm to the community.”

This is the second consecutive year for the carnival, and Younger hopes to it will continue in following years.

While the carnival is underway, management advised the public to be cautious while driving through the parking lot because of the number of children in the area.
