This year’s Pop-Up Carnival brought the Purim spirit straight to the classrooms of Stanmore Shul, transforming the halls into a buzzing carnival packed with excitement. From candyfloss and popcorn to hot dogs and game stalls, there was something for everyone—but the real star of the night was the rodeo bull. Brave riders gave it their best shot, with plenty of impressive attempts and even more hilarious wipeouts!
The night featured five epic Purim themed game stalls. Every win earned raffle tickets for some seriously cool prizes, including giant teddies and lucky dip surprises. The competition was fierce, but the atmosphere stayed fun and lively all evening.
The costume contest was another big hit, with this year’s top prizes going to a cowboy, Luigi, and two avocados (because why not?). And for those looking to capture memories, the photo stand with a vibrant backdrop was the perfect spot to snap some fun shots with friends.
A huge thank you to everyone who came and made this Purim one to remember. We’re already counting down the days until next year—bring on more fun, more games, and maybe another shot at conquering the bull!
