What is the author's purpose?

The Cass School summer carnival in January is a special event. First of all, there are activities for everyone. This year, one classroom had a game for little kids. Another room painted a clown with a huge mouth on a board for a beanbag toss. Other rooms had shoe scrambles and relay races. Secondly, each room gives prizes like yo-yos, bug-eyed glasses,  and light-up pens. Winning a prize always adds a little excitement to each activity. The best part is the clown  contest. It is pretty funny to see how students become  clowns using old clothes, face paint, wigs, big clunky  shoes, and wild ties. Adults and kids laugh and laugh at the clowns. For a little summer fun in January, the Cass School carnival is worth a visit.

Persuasion because the author uses a testimonial to show all of the activities that they can do. They also desribe prizes and rewards for coming which in my mind is a technique to persuade the reader.
