"The 'Back to School Carnival' is one of our favorite events of the year because it is both a great way to encourage excitement about the new school year and help families prepare their students by providing back-to-school supplies," said Leslie Gunter, co-owner of the Gunter CITGO. "It is a pleasure for us to be able to bring the entire community together and do what we can to support our local students, teachers, staff, coaches and parents."

Each year, the Gunter CITGO station transforms into a fun-filled fairground that represents the community's wonderful school spirit. This year, the carnival will offer a range of activities including face-painting, a bouncy castle, games and more.

The CITGO Fueling Good Ambassadors will be providing students with back-to-school gift bags with school supplies, as well as $10 CITGO Gift Cards. Free pizza, refreshments and entertainment will be provided to students and teachers.
