The council has agreed to bring back the Barry Carnival. I am deeply thankful to everyone who stood firm to ensure our children can experience this tradition. We will continue to watch the planning stages closely to preserve the spirit of what we achieved together.

The stories many of you have shared about past carnivals show exactly why this event was such a cornerstone of our community. I am currently preparing a formal letter to present our collective position to the council members. This is about ensuring our children have those same opportunities for local joy and connection.

Reaching one hundred signatures shows that many of us still carry fond memories of the carnival and want that spirit to return to our town. It is heartening to see that this desire for our community is shared by so many neighbors who value our local traditions.

Seeing the count approach one hundred signatures reminds me how many people hold a deep affection for the Barry Carnival. We need to reach this specific threshold to ensure the council recognizes the breadth of this community request before our next meeting.

Ridiculous that they cut it. The council has no idea what families actually want for this town.

Stop wasting our tax money on nonsense and put it back into things that actually bring the community together.

The town feels so empty without it. Please reconsider this decision.

My kids have nothing to do in the summer anymore. It was such a tradition for us growing up. Bring it back.
