Eau Claire, Wis (WEAU) - For the 25th year running, Festival Foods held a carnival to support Muscular Dystrophy over the Labor Day weekend.

The carnival was held Monday and along with an auction, more than 15-thousand dollars was raised.

Along with the silent auction, wrist bands were sold for ten dollars and that got families into all the fun.

About 1200 people showed up to the event Monday afternoon.

Money goes to support Muscular Dystrophy research.

The event has long been held in conjunction with the MDA telethon seen on WEAU.
