White River Water Carnival Kid Zone to Feature “Bounce House Extravaganza”


The 74th Annual White River Water Carnival Kid Zone will feature a new “Bounce House Extravaganza.”

Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) Tourism Director Kyle Christopher said of the 2017 Kid Zone, “we have experimented with the Kid Zone over the past the few years by bringing in different attractions and we have determined that the inflatables are always the most popular. So this year we wanted to bring together a collection of every type of inflatable we could find to create the “Bounce House Extravaganza”. We are also excited to be working with two local companies, Keller’s Bouncy Houses and the White River Family Fun Center, to provide all the inflatables for this year’s event.”

The Kid Zone is made possible this year by FNBC, Westrock Orthodontics, Littlefield Oil, McDonalds and Pepsi.

Wristbands are required for entry into the Kid Zone. Wristbands may be bought at the Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce prior to the event or day of at the entrance of the Kid Zone for $10.00.
