Summer’s almost over, but The Parks Mall at Arlington says there’s still time for some fun when Kids Kamp hosts an end-of-summer carnival. Like an old-fashioned county fair, the shopping center will be packed with all sorts of silliness. There will be mascots making merry, jugglers tossing and twisting, artists painting faces or making balloon creatures and so much more. Even a special performance by the Ramazini’s clowns!
