Want to be a part of Orange Lion’s Club Carnival history? Your family can!  The Orange Lions Club is offering families/individuals (no business sponsorships available on this project) the opportunity to “adopt” horses on their carousel.

Your adoption fee will cover the repainting of a horse. You can select the base color, as approved by the club, and your last name will be featured on the horse.

This project will be completed prior to the next carnival.

As of July 7, 2023, here are the remaining horses:

• Large-one left
• Medium-6 left
• Small-8 left
