Final Farewell:
All good things come to an end. Unfortunately, Maccabi Junior Carnival is now over for 2015 and thus this will be my final blog post. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who jumped on board and supported us, whether it be by reading the blog, liking the Facebook, following the Instagram or anything else. Thanks so much!

Sport wrap-up:
As we headed into the finals of each sport the skill as well
as the excitement was at an all-time high. In a number of sports a final went
right down to the wire with teams overcoming adversity to take out the title. There
were some nailbitingly close finishes at MSAC in the basketball finals with
Victoria taking out every division other than the year 8-10 boys category.
Soccer and futsal had the spoils shared equally between NSW and Victoria as the athletes tried their best to bring home the gold for their states. Overall, it was a great sporting showing throughout the week as the participants were really impressive in their effort and skill. A full list of the winners can be found below.

Last Socials – Club night + Foam Party:
Carnival’s penultimate social event was club night, held at
Alumbra nightclub, featuring some quality DJs and a cameo rap performance by
Jewish rapper Adam Freed, better known as Freeds. The kids partied in
the life of clubgoers as they danced the night away. The party raged on for
hours as participants continued to groove to the music and socialise with each other for the second last time.
The final night of Carni 2015 featured a foam party held at
Caulfield Bowls club. There was entertainment aplenty as participants enjoyed
partying as a group for the final time,
ensuring that their final moments with their interstate and international
friends, new and old, were spent partying.
The foam pit was a huge hit with the kids, a constant rotation of participants were in and out of the pit, generally covered head to toe in foam. The smiles on the participant’s faces as they romped around in the foam pit were a joy to witness.
Other entertainment included DJs CJ and Jay Levy, who kept the party going and the dance floor full to great effect. Whilst a picture slideshow of Carnival ran in the background, kids also had the opportunity to create their own flipbook, as well as engage in some virtual sport thanks to Rentertainment.

As the hours passed, the party came to a close and teary
farewells came thick and fast as interstate companions parted, some for the
first time since the forming of these friendships. It was amazing to see the
kids’ outpour of emotion at the ending of Carnival, an indicator that leaders
and organisers had done a great job in providing these kids with a week they
will never forget!
Final thank you from Organisers:

thanks a bunch!
