HAYS, Kan. – A spring carnival will take over the Gross Memorial Coliseum parking lot during the evening of Saturday, April 27, courtesy of Fort Hays State University’s University Activities Board.

“The mission behind Jammin’ Into Summer is to create a stronger connection between the campus and the public in order to better showcase what the City of Hays as well as the FHSU campus has to offer,” said Jacob Schoenfeld, president of UAB.

Six different carnival rides, booths hosted by campus organizations, food, magician Brian Miller and a concert by Parmalee will all be a part of the carnival.

Parmalee is a nationally recognized country band, known for their hit single “Carolina.”

Admission is free, the only thing that must be paid for is the carnival booths or food.

“Last year 800 people attended and we are planning on a much larger turn out this year,” said Schoenfeld.

The carnival begins at 5 p.m. and the concert will start at 7:30.

This event is open to the public.
