COMMUNITY & CULTURE CarneyVal CARNEY’S KIDS PHOTOS BY BRYAN SCHRAIER M ore than a dozen of St. Louis’ most popular dining establishments participated in this year’s CarneyVal to benefit the Carney’s Kids Foundation. Guests enjoyed an array of culinary offerings, as well as a stand-up comedy program, and live and silent auctions. A signature of the event is the attire, with guests encouraged to wear outrageous costumes. Spotted among the crowd was foundation namesake John Carney as King Tut. Proceeds from the event, held at Ameristar Casino, support local organizations whose focus is improving the lives of children. 2 1 3 4 5 1. John & Suzanne Carney 2. Cindy and Dr. Marc Moon 3.
