******* Parking – Note Changes – Cars parked on County Line Road will likely be ticketed. The LPD wants all cars parked in Pine Park parking lots. The overflow from the main parking lot will be directed to two parking lots deeper in the park. Mini busses will continuously shuttle people between the two satellite parking lots and the carnival.
Changes From Previous Carnivals
In gratitude to Hashem for saving one of my children in a nighttime pedestrian-car accident this year, there will be two gifts for the first 10,000 children: a set of two motion activated led lights that attach to bicycle tires and a clip on led light for bicycles or clothing.
The nosh will be a dual snake puzzle spray nosh for the first 10,000 children.
Water bottles will be available only for staff. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLES OR OTHER DRINKS.
******* Lost Children – Note Changes – Lost children will not be announced. Instead, all lost children and parents should meet at the corner of the stage by the “lost children” sign. If your child is too young to know your cell phone number then please write your cell phone number on a piece of tape and apply it to your child’s shirt.
Objective – To provide a kosher and sweet Chol Hamoed event for children while helping to relieve some of the financial burden on frum families.
Final Notes – This is a Travelling Tykes event that is organized and operated by Travelling Tykes. The cost is being deferred by Kollel Ner Avrohom, Inc. for this religious celebration.

I’m not sure I understand the thing about not announcing lost children. You have a two year old child who is hysterical and cannot find his or her parent….or you have a parent frantically looking for his or her child and all it takes is an announcement to end the nightmare for both parent and child… but we say no!! We are not going to announce it, you just have to go to the corner of the stage and hope that all works out. Why is this not something that should be handled a little better?
Thank you Dr Roberts.
The post doesn’t say where the satellite parking lots are located. We would need to know that in order to park there.
Thanx again.
read the above article. tells where to park
Mark b it says you will be directed to the parking lots
Thank you Dr. Roberts. These carnivals are our vacation.
When you enter Pine Park, the traffic people will waive you deeper into the park, where the satellite parking lots are, if the first lot is full.
Thanks Dr Roberts for your on wavering chesed. Your determination to do things right is amazing… I/we appreciate it! Enjoy yom tov and you and your family should stay safe.
What??
is this only for kids, can kids at heart also enjoy the festivities?
What a special person! Dr Roberts thank you for all that you do for the community! You and your family should always be filled of health happiness and the world of beracha!
If you asked that question chances are you are fully qualified to join
Thank you very much dr roberts.
As always:
Dr. Roberts your Chesed is legendary
Be blessed with Kol Tuv.
So generous of Dr. Roberts and family.
Thank you Dr. Roberts,
We all had a great time!
Somehow Hashem held up the rain. Right outside Lakewood it was pouring. I noticed this phenomenon time after time on carnival day. Maybe that’s what is meant by when you do a mitzvah Hashem helps in the most wondrous ways. Dr.Robert’s may you be blessed!!!
