The Festival

The Tarnival! Festival consists of six 10x10ft tents. Each tent contains one or more unique hands-on experiences designed to educate participants about tobacco and health, marketing, money and more.

Participants will answer (and ask!) questions, toss balls, squeeze sponges, roll simulated neurotransmitters, and can even walk through our very own "Not So Fun House", where the ravages of tobacco on the body will be displayed in graphic detail. Carnival barkers will shout, prizes will be awarded, and participants will learn all about the tobacco industry and its effects on our health, minds and pocketbooks.
