"We're so excited about having a carnival - everyone loves a carnival," said Lauren Holmes, Managing Broker of Crye-Leike Crabapple/Roswell. "All we ask is for everyone who comes out to bring at least one item that we can donate to the troops serving overseas. So while we're having a good time... in return the troops will get some goodies from back home that will hopefully bring a big smile to their face."

The Realtors and staff organizing the event next month are asking for the community's support by coming out and bringing "Care Items" that can be easily packaged and shipped to the troops. The list of requested items includes: books, magazines, disposable camera, toiletries and any kind of hard candy or non-perishable snack.

"For each item someone donates they will receive a raffle ticket that will make them eligible to win a fabulous prize," said Jennifer Tierney, Assistant Manager at Crye-Leike Crabapple/Roswell. "So far our big prizes include a smoker and a custom dog house and we expect to add more as we get closer to the day of the carnival."

"We have been so inspired and moved by the sacrifices our men and women in the armed forces have been making overseas for the past seven-plus years that our plans for a spring carnival became all about supporting them and saying thanks," said Lauren. "Several of the agents in our office have close family and friends serving abroad so this event is very personal and we hope to see a huge crowd next month so we can make a big donation to the troops."
