Life is a Carnival

Youngsters in the Putnam County Headstart program celebrate the last day of the year Friday with a carnival featuring fun activities like a bounce house, a variety of children's games and plenty of snacks outside the Area 30 Career Center building on Indianapolis Road in Greencastle. Headstart bus driver Gloria Smith even gets in on the Friday afternoon action, using a super soaker to spray her little friends. (Banner Graphic/ERIC BERNSEE)

Meanwhile, among the youngsters who weren't quite sure they really wanted to get wet, four-year-old Kendra Haney tries to use her balloon flower creation to ward off the spray. (Banner Graphic/Eric Bernsee)
