Rochester Road carnival continues through Sunday.
If you want to add color and life to a vast, gray parking lot, build a carnival. That's what the Rochester Hills Lions Club has done at the corner of Avon and Rochester roads. The carnival opened Friday and is ongoing this week at one of the city's busiest intersections. It is a tradition that dates back more than 30 years; it's one of the club's biggest fundraisers, with proceeds benefiting Leader Dogs for the Blind and other local organizations. Hours are 4-11 p.m. today, Thursday and Friday. Saturday hours are 11 a.m. -11 p.m.; Sunday is closing day for the carnival, which is open noon-11 p.m. An all-day pass is $20; a discounted pass can be purchased at nearby Kmart for $15.
