    • Thank you Dr. Roberts for the wonderful carnival! It was the first time my family and I attended

      I will leave feedback since it was memtioned prior to the show that feedback is appreciated.

      The stage at the puppy show should be all the way set back similar to the way it was at the story teller show, and the stage should be raised another 12-18 inches. This way everyone can see without having to stand up on thier chairs and blocking people behind them.

      Thank you!!

  1. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable chol hamoed day!

    We can’t even fathom the amount of planning that goes into making your carnivals such a success.

    We really appreciate the venue you chose to host the event. It was so spacious. Everything moved like clockwork.

    Your staff were efficient, cheerful and helpful.

    The shows were enjoyable, the nosh was delicious & the prizes were useful.

    Hashem should bench you!

  2. This was the first time I attened your carnival.

    I was amazed at was was offered. My kids and I had a great time.

    It was everthing that multiple other “Chol amoed events” would offer. without the price tag.

    Thank you Dr Roberts. You should be gebenched for your chessed and Ahavas Yisroel.

  3. thank you so much! It was so well run and my children had such a great time! One of the best parts was watching fathers and children around my neighborhood later on playing with the ball prize outside đŸ™‚

  4. Thank you Dr. Roberts!! this is my fourth time attending your event and each time I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude. Not only did it save us 100’s of dollars but each detail is so thought out and is done in the most generous way possible. Ashrecha!! I am jealous of your Olam Habba- PS. Your mother is a gem! I’m sure she had all the Nachas possible!

  5. Thank you so much for providing such great chol hamoed entertainment! My kids look forward to going to Robert’s Carnival each chol hamoed. They had a great time and enjoyed all the shows the prize and the chocolate!

  6. Thank you Dr.Roberts! It was such a nice event! My family was there all day literally! It was so organized and well run! Your mother looked like she was having a great time! Hashem should only continue to bentch you!

    • Also forgot to mention, you can’t find an event like this with multiple shows for kids (and adults!) that are great but also fine – with a Yiddish taam, even for pay in the tri-state area.

  7. Dr. Roberts,
    What a huge huge zechus you have! We are blown away once again. Really no words! Hashem should repay your chessed with only good for you amd your entire family!

  8. Thank you Dr Roberts! My kids had a great time, enjoyed the shows and also the nosh and prize. And it was very well organized. We’ve gone to the carnival quite a few times already and always enjoy it. I’m wondering, you’ve had an outdoor bird show some years back that was fantastic, would you consider bringing it again for another carnival, if still available?

  9. MY KIDS think that since this carnival is free is must be nerdy.so insteadwe spend hours googling and arguing where to go. we finally agree on something when its very late and go somewhere really stupid and pay a lot of money.I think if dr roberts were to make this program one hour away and charge fifty dollars admission , then my spoiled kids will want to come.

  10. Dear Dr. Robert Rich,
    Thank you for the wonderful carnival my children enjoyed it very much.
    One side issue. Since the carnival my kids are hinting what they want for their Afikoman presents are motorbikes like in the show.
    To keep costs down my 14 year old son already asked our Ruv (& noted Posek) who told him if one always wears a hat to let people know he is a Ben Torah one does not need to wear a helmet.
    I was curious how he came to his psak. My Ruv explained, if one may pass a school bus to get to work on time or make a left turn from the right lane to pick up the herring for the Grand Kiddush before the store closes than Kal V’Chomer one may ride a motorbike down the sidewalk at full speed to be on time for Minyan or learning.
    I asked my (obviously very OTD whose favorite part of the Seder is the Haroset) lawyer cousin & he confirmed “Freedom of Religion” overrides the basic human expectation to walk on the sidewalk in safety.
    In fact there’s a legal precedent requiring pedestrians to walk in the street to leave the sidewalks clear for riders. The silver lining is when the boys are riding to Yeshiva there will be much less hitchhiking which we all dislike.
    p.s. Please don’t have a show with horses. They are very expensive to take care of.
    With blessings for all,
    Velvy “Varmkeit” Volozhin

  11. I want to thank everyone for your positive comments. I’m glad that everything worked so well yesterday.

    We always try to improve. For example, the weather was very hot for the Succos carnival so our water filtering capacity wasn’t sufficient. We were sending our truck to get pallets of bottled water. For this carnival, and going forward, we have a much larger water filter, which can make four gallons per minute, and we upgraded our faucets from one to four. We didn’t need the extra capacity yesterday but we’ll have it in case we have another hot day for the carnival in the future.

    Gut Moed,
    Rich Roberts

  12. Great job well done!! I understand that it is anything but easy to run this carnival. There are thousands of details that have to be in place in order for it to work out well.

  13. Thank you Dr. Roberts!

    It was a beautiful, perfectly executed event, which can only have come through the tremendous efforts you have taken to improve every detail of it, time after time, as it and the crowd has evolved.

    Thank you! May hashem reward you for all the simcha you have brought us and all the other families that attended!
