BILLINGS — The region's largest school carnival, Saturday Live, will move inside to Billings Skyview High School this weekend because of anticipated bad weather.

The event will still run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday. The event has typically been held at Pioneer Park.

In addition to the carnival, the 12th Annual Fun Run, sponsored by Billings Clinic Kids, will move to the cross-country course at Skyview High School. Online and same day registration are still available. Packet pick-up begins at 7:30 a.m. and the raise starts at 9:00 a.m. For more information about entry fees and pre-registration, visit billingsclinic.com/funrun [billingsclinic.com].

Forecasts are showing a possibility for snow all over Montana this weekend.

All the favorite carnival games, prizes, booths, haunted house, food, and live entertainment will be at the new location for families to enjoy. The event benefits Billings area public schools and the Education Foundation for Billings Public Schools, an independent, non-profit foundation established to enhance education opportunities. Pre-sale tickets are available at elementary schools until Thursday and tickets are also available at the event.

In addition to Skyview parking, Harvest Church is offering their parking lot for free shuttle services to the event. The shuttles run every 15 – 20 minutes throughout the day from Harvest to the entrance of Skyview.
