Pack the Park: A Carnival to End Hunger

Every summer, Pleasant Valley rallies around events that feel bigger than a single afternoon — and Pack the Park: A Carnival to End Hunger is one of those rare gatherings where fun and purpose meet in the same place. Hosted at the beautiful Cutty’s Hayden Creek Resort, this carnival isn’t just about games, music, and bright tents fluttering in the August breeze. It’s about neighbors coming together to support families across Central Colorado who are struggling with food insecurity.

The Grainery’s mission has always been simple: feed people with dignity and hope. Pack the Park turns that mission into a celebration — a day where kids laugh, parents relax, and local businesses step up as sponsors to make a real difference. Every booth, every ride, every sponsorship dollar helps keep shelves stocked and meals on tables.

It’s the kind of event that reminds us what community looks like when everyone shows up: colorful, joyful, generous, and determined to take care of one another. Whether you’re attending, volunteering, or sponsoring, you’re part of something that stretches far beyond a single Saturday.
