RINCON -- The second annual Country Carinval conducted at Freedom Park on Sunday was a hit despite a brief shower just before the event started at 5 p.m.

Lines of children and adults -- all with smiles on their faces -- lined up to play games, jump in inflatables and ride in a hay wagon. There was also music and good food.

Several area Effingham County churches joined forces to put on the family friendly event.
