Episode Date: May 8, 2026

Syracuse Spring Carnival Returns: Rides, Food, and the Business of Traveling Carnivals On Good News York, host Noah Chrysler interviews Allen LaVenture of Main Event Amusements, a traveling carnival company, about the Syracuse Spring Carnival at the New York State Fairgrounds (Gray Lot) with free admission and parking via Gate 6. Allen says the event features 18 rides (kiddie, family, and thrill), about eight food trucks, and around 20 games. He discusses the carnival industry’s history and resurgence, the staying power of classic rides like the Tilt-A-Whirl (including their refurbished 1954 unit) and Scrambler, and explains how the Tilt-A-Whirl works and how modern shows run on generators. Allen describes New York State’s rigorous ride inspections and shares how he helped develop post-COVID health protocols later reused by the state. He encourages following Main Event Amusements on social media for details and mentions another fairgrounds food truck battle. 00:00 Cold Open Carnival Banter 00:14 Meet Allen And The Show 00:43 Event Details And Attractions 01:47 Back To Fairgrounds Post Covid 03:39 Carnival History And Classic Rides 06:32 Tilt A Whirl Mechanics Explained 08:13 Why Live Events Are Back 09:56 How The Carnival Business Works 10:42 Ride Costs And Booking Reality 12:19 County Fairs And Community Impact 14:06 Ride Safety And Inspections 15:40 Safety Layers Explained 16:25 New York Ride Inspections 17:12 Whats Hot on the Midway 18:26 Classic Rides Always Win 19:49 Best Seat Debate 21:44 People Watching and Mystique 22:51 Carnival Games and Winning 24:59 Prizes Kids and Storytelling 27:13 Event Info and Call to Action 28:48 Community Fairs Bigger Picture 29:37 Final Thanks and Sponsor Plug

Step right up. Step right up. You know, get your weight, your height. Yeah, that's my next question is, can you do that? Are you trained in that? Am I trained? You know what the training is? Yeah.

It's good guessing. You know what I mean. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Good News York. My name is Noah Chrysler. Today I am sitting with Alan. Alan, welcome to the show. Well, thanks for having me. Absolutely.

Go ahead and introduce yourself. Who are you with? My name's Alan Lventure. I'm with main event amusements. We're a traveling carnival and entertainment company. Yes. I have so excited about this. Wonderful.

I love carnivals. Grew up going to the New York State Fair. Maybe that's not a carnival. It's a fair, but. It's the same thing, same premise, just on a larger scale. Love it. Beautiful.

So you guys have an event coming up this weekend, yeah? Yep. We're at the New York State Fairgrounds. We're in the gray lot. I mean, the fair's a massive expanse. We're in the gray lot. We have our own entrance.

There's other events going on over the weekend. But ours is, you know, free admission, free parking. I've just got to enter gay sex. Otherwise, you'll end up in that, you know, that other situation, but it's great. Cool. Free admission, free parking, wonderful. What can people expect at this event this weekend? Well, we're going to bring 18 rides out.

We've got kitty rides. We've got family rides. Huge thrill rides. So, you know, a little bit of everything for everything. We've got, or for everyone. We've got eight food trucks anywhere from pizza to traditional things that you would think of cotton candy, candy apples, all of that's there, walking taco. So, you know, we've got that covered.

I mean, again, if you're bringing the kids, we've got hot dogs, hamburgers, and we've got chicken tenders and chicken tenders save the world. I had chicken tenders last night, actually. We went to Tully's. They were really good. I got the Asian tenders. There you go. Very good. Cool. Okay, so you've got rides this weekend.

What is the event called? It's just the, it's a Syracuse Spring Carnival. Syracuse Spring Carnival. It's first time we've returned to the fairgrounds in the last five years. What's interesting is that the last time we were here was right after COVID. And none of the ride companies taught to get out in New York State. And we, in my role, I handle a lot of logistics, all permitting and what have you not state stuff. And what I did is I took all the protocols from the state and actually developed the program for New York State's health department, for traveling carnivals, you know, to launch after COVID in a safe way, distancing, how we marked the ground, how we're sanitizing the rides, how we would break down for an hour.

So that all did the state, they let us open up at the state fairgrounds. And then we moved to Watertown for the next weekend. And they said, oh, we have a document that covers it. And basically they had copied and pasted 90% of what I had written. So it's kind of a, it was a funny story. I am a little confused. It helped me understand this story. So you did a bunch of cleaning and sanitizing of your gear and equipment.

What they did is New York State didn't want to let all these outdoor carnivals launch. Yeah. So they were like, you know, they had started to put protocols together for places like Dary and Lake and that. And then they put them together for, you know, outside events. But they never combined those two for carnivals and things like that. So I kind of took pieces from everything and sort of combined it in a logical way that made sense. So people would be safe. We submitted it to the New York State Health Department.

They approved it. And then they took it and used it again. That's hilarious. Got it. And you saw it. You saw it because they were like, oh, we have a document that you can review for us in Watertown. And send it to me. And I was like, hey, that's mine.

I can even see the typos. I mean, they added state stuff, but its basic framework was the same, which what that told me is that we're doing it right. Yeah, no, that's wonderful. You know, so that's good. That's wonderful. So, yeah, so tell me more about that. So, so we were talking before, you know, before we started rolling here, we were talking a lot about the carnival industry, the carnival ride industry. Tell me about that industry and what you think is the most interesting stuff.

I mean, it's been around for 100 years, 100 plus years. I mean, the carnival, it's part of Americana. people in towns would look forward to the carnival's coming to town and we still see that and, you know, in this day and age with technology and that carnival popularity ebbs and flows. It was big in the 80s, kind of dropped off in the 90s, early 2000s, and it's begun to take a surge again. I mean, people I think they want to get out from behind their phones and maybe actually go out and do that. You're seeing that type of investment. I mean, the last two governors that we've had in New York State, I mean, have put substantial money into the New York State Fairgrounds.

You know, Governor Hockel and the new go-barden, she grew up in the Buffalo area right near the Erie County Fair, so she's very familiar, and really wanted to bring some of the New York State Fair stuff back to its roots. And so you're starting to see the fairs started based on agriculture. You know, it was an opportunity for farmers to bring their wares to that. And as it grew, you started to see more food. You started to see the games. And we all have that traditional vision of Carnies at the games. And then rides became there. And once you got to the 40s and 50s, I mean, you really started to see some cool, you know, rides that stick today.

It's amazing to me that, you know, rides like the Scramble, a Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round. If you go to a carnal, you're going to see them everywhere. and then there's my favorite, which is we're at the 100th anniversary of the Tilt Whirl. Yeah. So, I'm a big Tiltoril guy. I love the Tiltoril War. Tiltor is the best.

It was a cool ride, like I said, 100 years ago in Minnesota. You know, it was a farmer. Which is interesting because, you know, those were the guys who were dealing with motors and things from their tractors and that. So they were looking for something to add to these fairs.

And that's how you really started with their rides. In the beginning, they were very, very simple. They may have been a tractor-driven swing that just went around. And they eventually evolved into, you know, the thrill rides we see today. But what's amazing is, you know, every year you see something new, oh, Disney's come out with this or this one's come out with this. The traditional Americana, those rides, like I said, the scrambler, the Tilt a Whirl,

they just don't go away. And we're fortunate. We have a 1954 Tilta Whirl, which sounds scary old. It's 75 years old, but it's been completely refurbished. colors match exactly the designs the graphics and everything so our our tilt world if you looked at it and could go back in a time machine 75 years it would look exactly the same which is really a cool piece for us no that's incredible that's really cool i have nerdy questions about tiltle world operation is that okay that's fine from my understanding of a tilt world i'm assuming there's some sort of like there's an engine

probably somewhere you said it runs there's a motor in the middle gotcha okay okay old rides all ran on diesel now now now we're when we show up, we build a full power plant. So we travel with our own power plant. We have several generators. So everything's, you know, electric. Wow. You know, it is.

You don't want kids. Again, we didn't care in 1920. But, you know, today I think parents would have a problem if their kids were spinning around and a ride and breathing in diesel fumes. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe not the best.

That makes sense. Got it. Okay. So you set up all these generators that feeds some sort of power conduit thing, feeds each ride. Cool. Motor in the middle, then there's like a track, right? There's like a wood with like wooden or steel panels.

Steel panels. Gotcha. Cool. And then there's like and then the track has like up and down parts. Yeah. And it kind of just spins around. And the thing is it works off as its own centrifugal force. So the track has an up and and a down.

And so when it spins, there's two points of spinning. There's the mainframe, the flat bottom that the car sit on and that moves. So that's taking in the undulation of the up and the down. And then naturally, the actual cars that you sit in are set on their own pivot. So as you take those hills or those ups and down those undulations, they spin on their own. So there's no motor on the cars itself. That's all done through gravity, which is pretty impressive. Which is like genius, you know, for a farmer to create that 100 years ago.

I mean, that's amazing. Like, that's super cool. Wonderful. Okay, we talked a little bit about how, you know, live events are kind of coming back into the popular culture and things, you know, getting people out of their houses, getting them off their phones and that sort of thing. Why do you think that is? Because they need new content for their phones. You know what? I think that we kind of landed in that. Let's look at our phone saturation and mental health professionals are talking and schools are now talking about taking the phones

away during the day and what have you done. So we're starting to see that that is an issue. And I think parents are taking note of it and they're like, okay, I'm not going to keep my kids from looking at their phone. But maybe I can limit it. Maybe that can give them experiences. And suddenly now it becomes storytelling. Social media is an effective tool for storytelling as long as it doesn't become the dominant tool.

So, you know, if you're going to be in your phone, we can say, oh, we don't want our kids on their phone. They're going to be on their phone. But if we can give them experiences, give them something a little more to talk about, suddenly that interaction on the phone's a little less just watching other people do stuff and maybe actually doing stuff yourself. Yeah. Go for an adventure. Go try something new. Go on a tilt-a-roll.

Well, if you look at the type of content that people follow, it's always people who do adventures. Influencers are people who go to the beach. They go to the mountains. They go to a different restaurant. They go to this. And I think what you're seeing is that parents are encouraging or younger people now are encouraging to explore the world and they're becoming

I don't know if they're becoming influencers, but they're becoming storytellers. And I think storytelling is at the root of who we are as people. Absolutely. Cool. I think that that's a beautiful sentiment, and I'm excited that we're moving in that direction because, I don't know, my house gets boring on the inside. Cool. Awesome. Okay, so we were talking a little bit too about the carnival ride industry. Tell me about how that works. I want to know more. I mean, there's a lot of different companies. I mean, you know, they basically bracket in the three different sizes.

There's a smaller ones that you see at the church carnivals locally. Then there's a mid-sized company, which is where we fit. you know, 20 to 30 rides. We do mid-size county fairs in New York State, the Niagara County Fair, the Allureean's County Fair, Seneca County Fair. And all these are smaller versions of the New York State Fair. And then there's the top-tier companies like Straits or Wade, Wade who does the New York State Fair. Straits does the Erie County Fair. And those are large companies that have, you know, 60, 70, 80 rides.

Cool. If, okay, I got two questions. The first one, who is like, if I need carnival rides, do I give you guys a call and say, hey, I've got a really cool birthday party. That's going to be really awesome this weekend. That's a funny thing. We do get a lot of calls and people who are like, hey, can I get one ride or can, hey, can I get a game? Yeah. And really the logistics of moving a show is massive.

Sure. I think people don't understand. I mean, rides, you know, a refurbished ride or a ride that you buy that needs a lot of work, you're going to put $100,000 to $150,000 in it. Wow. You want a brand new. ride, you're looking anywhere from 200 to 300,000 up to, you know, something like a Gravitron or a claw that those big claws that football, those are over a million dollars. Really?

Just for the ride. The big claw that swings back and forth and spins around. And then goes upside down. Gotcha. So, you know, you're looking at a substantial investment. Sure. So it's not a, it's not a blowout bounty house that you buy for $300 and make your money back in two years.

Got it. Which is great. I mean, we'd love to do a bunch of backgrounds, but there's... No, but that's not your business. That makes a lot of sense. It's not a way to make any money. Gotcha. So basically your customers are, you know, small governments or local towns and things.

And a lot of retail properties, though. Gotcha. You know, we break out in the spring and, you know, we go to the Finger Lakes Mall for a couple weeks. And then we do small places like the New York State Fair. We're going to pop to Norwich next week. We'll end up in Elmira due in the... internet mall for a couple weeks and tie into a big event that they got going on there. Wonderful.

And then suddenly you hit to July and you're in fair season. And, you know, we sit in Syracuse at the New York State Fair. So we have this vision of this massive, oh, million people fair. And the reality is these little towns per capita do better per capita, even though they may only get 100,000 people, when you look at an area that's got 30, 40, 50,000 people, it becomes an event that they go to seven days because you count the person every day that they come in. So if you took Metro Syracuse and multiplied that over the 12 days of the fair, you're getting people going two or three times. People talk about going to the fair. Oh, I'm going to go a couple

times. Well, these people in these rural communities are going to the fair every single day. And it's a really important part of their year. and it's great. I mean, it's great for their communities. And like I said, because we have the big one here, I think we miss the fact that every county in New York State does a fare of some form. Cool. Yeah, it's really cool.

I actually didn't know that. That's really cool. They all do different county fairs. They all different county fairs. I mean, you go to Weedsport, you know, Seneca County fair is right there. I mean, it's a smaller, you know, property. A whole event is maybe the size of the New York State Fair Midway. but it has all the exact same elements.

You know, they do a demolition. You know, you're right in the wine country, so you get a lot of different wine slushies. They do a demolition. That sounds sick. That sounds really fun. It's pretty crazy fun stuff. You know, and it's an opportunity for live music

and just really for the community to come together. And that's really what the fairs, you know, started out as. And they're kind of really getting back to that. It's pretty cool. No, that's beautiful. Cool. Here's my next question. And this is like the, this is, you know,

sometimes when I go, to a fair or a carnival, you know, and I think to myself, okay, they slap these rides. I'm a risk taker. I like taking risk. I like having fun, right? But I'm thinking to myself, okay, they put these up in a weekend or a week, right? And I get nervous, right? But you were telling me that that's actually, you know, there's a lot, especially in New York State, right? So tell me about that. Well, safety is important. I mean, it obviously is, I mean, again, these are all these high profiles. So something happens you're going to hear about it.

When New York State is very, very particular. in the way that they do things. They'll come in and they'll certify. And you'll see, and it's right at the front of the gate of the rides. Nobody notices them, but they're there is a certification that the ride's been inspected. They'll come in March and April and they'll check the welds. Welding. Gotcha.

They'll check welds, make sure there's no metal fatigue in that before we even go out. And then every single time we go out, they come out and they inspect. So New York State is very good in making sure. And it's amazing because it takes a couple days of seven. up, but they're there with us all the way through. So they're not just checking, oh, does it look good or all this? They're checking the belts. They're checking the screws. They're counting the things. You know, I mean, things that you wouldn't think are safety issues, but like every ride car has a number on it. The reason is if there's a, if there is a problem, you know,

the ride operator can be like, okay, whoever's coming over. It's right. It's number two. So, you know, New York is extremely safety conscious. And, you know, to their benefit, I mean, we've been doing this for 25 years and, you know, fingers crossed. Yeah. You know, one, we hire very good people, you know, have that kind of background. But, you know, two, that those state inspector help us to be able to run a show every single week, build every single week and be safe every single week. Wonderful. Well, that's great.

I, that makes me feel better, honestly, knowing that, like, hey, there's a, you. there's a system in here, in place here, you know, and somebody's inspecting these rides at a regular cadence, and things are safe. That's a good thing to know. And it's layers.

I mean, obviously we have our own safety team. And we know what we're trying to do to make sure things are safe, you know, but that's a nice checks and balances. So when you come out on a midway and it's a midway with,

you know, main event amusements on it, you're going to, you're on a safe midway. And be honestly, there's a great operator. Ontario is a good. operator, you know, locally, you know, Wade who comes to the fair, they're great, amazing operator on a, you know, on a national level.

But they still go through that, that process. New York State is going to inspect every single one of those rides, even though they might have certifications in Florida and in 50 other states, and, you know, they may have an engineer on staff, and New York State's still going to inspect it. So, I mean, when you go on a ride in New York State, you know, whether it's a main event's ride, which, you know, I'd love you to come out and use, but are anybody else who's actually operating in New York State, you know, you've got some of the highest safety standards in the entire country. Cool. Well, cool. Um, if we take a step back and we think about, uh,

the ebbs and flows of demand for different carnival rides, what's like hot? Like, you know, our bumper car is hot in 2026. What's hot? Well, you know, it's funny. You always, you do a new ride or whatever. And, um, you know, like, our newest ride is, um, um, we have, um, we have a, a Himalaya, which is kind of a classic ride. But it's, in the scope of things, it's not a scrambler or a Tiltor world. It's 100 years old. It's a 70s ride that really started to pick up. We have a brand new, and people get very, very excited about that when we put the brand new

Himalaya up last year. But what happened is people go back to those classics. You know, so, I mean, if you were to say to me, where to the hot rides? I mean, the merry-garone's always going to be a hot ride. I don't know if you'd call a merry-go-gown a hot ride. Sure, yeah. But it's a popular ride. Almost everybody who comes in goes to that.

From a thrill standpoint, it's our Himalaya. Himalaya is the one that just goes really quick. Really quick round. The loudest music you're ever going to see on the Midway. That's the Himalaya. It kind of distorts all your senses, and that's kind of the fun of it. And you want to sit on the inside, right? Because you're going to slam the buddy on the side.

Right, yeah. Exactly. And then, again, you know, your classics, Tiltor World is always going to do well. You'll see, repeat something. of the things, the most basic things people do over and over and over again. Like, kids love the swings, like that big swing, they go to the swing over and over and over again. And it's, we've got a nice spread where we have kiddie rides, we have family rides, and big thrill rides. So you get to see people jockey back and forth, but, you know, the ones that, the one that gets me, and it's

fun, don't get me wrong, but I mean, I'm old, so I'm a little creaky. The giant slide. Yeah, oh yeah. It's as simple as it's a slide. Yeah. And the lines to the, walk up the stairs, they come like that. But kids will do that all day long. Yeah, that's great. And we've had parents who are just like, we went on two rides. We went on the merry-go-round and we went on the slide.

They're like, all this stuff here and the kids just went on the slide. So, you know, it, you know, classics are classics. Yeah, I love it. No, yeah, they're tried and true. You know, I think that that's really interesting, right? Because, like, that means it's been around for 70 years, right? It means the other stuff fell off, right? We tried this thing.

Nobody really liked that, right? The slide is there because everybody likes the slide, and that's 75 years old. I like that. We're probably older. Very cool. Wonderful. Okay, I got a question for you. Sure.

Hot debate. Every time I get on a roller coaster, right, or the guy lets me buy, and I'm like, you know, even some of the smaller ones at the New York State Fair or something, you know, it's like, which car do I sit in, right? because everybody's like, oh, there's a different experience, right? Do I sit in the front car? Do I sit in the back car? Do I sit in the second car?

I had a friend who was always like, oh, sit in the second car. That's the best experience on the roller coaster. What do you think about that? What's the best seat on the ride? You know, you heard it. I mean, I grew up in the Buffalo area and I was fortunate, and I was 10 minutes away from Daryon Lake. So I was one of those kids who had a pass. Okay, yes.

So I would go three, four times a week because it was a $3, you know, bus ride to Daryon Lake. and The Viper, which is, you know, it was the new ride when I was a kid, but it's not. We sat in the front, we sat in the middle, we sat in back, we tested it to death, you know, and I think you convince yourself. People are always like, oh, if you're in the back, you're getting the momentum, so you get that extra whip. Right. And, you know, the front, here's all I'll say about the front is that if you're in the front on a roller coaster,

you're going to hang and stare straight down. So that's the different experience from that perspective. But I don't know if I buy the, oh, there's a whip or there's a this or, you know, things like the Himalaya, though, I want to be on the inside because I don't want to get crushed. Sure. I mean, I'll give you that. But other than that, I think it's personal. I mean, you know, it's what people make of it, you know. If people sit in the back and think they get an extra G-4 side of it because they got a whip.

Yeah, good for them. I hope they enjoy it. It might be a placebo, but you know what? It might have been a wine slushie they had 20 minutes ago. but I mean, I don't know. I just have at it. But there are people who will wait for specific seats. Yeah.

On certain rides, which is... Really? Yeah. They'll be like, I don't want to go on that. No, I'll go to the next time. You know, or... That's crazy. Yeah, it's hilarious.

But again, that's kind of the cool part about it, is... Because we all know the fair is all about people watching. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So we get to do a lot of people watching. We get to meet a lot of very interesting people. Like who? people come out of the woodwork.

I mean, you know, again, once you're in a community, you know, that guy, you see groups of people that you wouldn't expect to see. You know, you see people from, you know, well, we'll use a Gatsby. West Egg and East Egg, and they're all, you know, intermingling together and having a great time. And it's one of those things where it almost dissolves all of those barriers. You know, I mean, maybe it's because carnivals are at their core just so basic. You know, their family, their community, where they started from. It has that kind of interesting mystique. Well, that interesting mystique, which becomes also some really good horror movies.

But that's a different conversation altogether. For sure. No, cool. I think that that's great. It's a great unifier. Everybody can come together, eat some popcorn, candy apple, throw the candy apple back up. And we even talked about games and the food. I mean, we run with 20 games, you know.

And all the classics, you know, win a fish, take a fish home. What's the easiest game for me to win consistently? Well, we do have, you know, a couple things like the shark attack where you just fish for sharks and you win every time. So that would probably be the go-to game. Okay. I'm surprised how many people actually get the ping pong balls in the fish. Yeah. I mean, that's why you see people walking around fish.

And part of that also is to get people to, you want people to win. Right. Because if people are walking around a prize, everybody goes, you can win. Right, yeah, yeah. If nobody's got a prize, nobody's going to play the game. And it's a little different. I mean, it's not that hardcore, you know, carney speak that, you know, I'm going to get pushed in and I'm going to get shenancled. Is that even a word shenan?

I don't know. Now it is. It's a mixture of a bunch of them, finangle and. shenanigans. Shenangle. They, um, you don't have that.

You don't have those, those, they're called barkers. Yeah, yeah. The way they were. Um, and I think that, that,

you know, not the pressure we ones, but I think that that's part of the ambience. That's part of the story, you know, come on over. I'm gonna grab your, you know,

step right up. Step right up. Step right up. You know, get your weight, your height, you know, you know,

that's my next question is, can you do that? Uh, we have a, we do have one of our game, when we do. Are you trained in that? Am I trained?

You know what the training is? It's good guessing. You know what I mean? Sure. And the way prizes are set up, I mean, you want people to win. Yeah. You know, so, you know, guess your month within two months, that's, you know. Yeah, that's just odds.

It's like a 50-50 chance. I mean, you get five of those months out of 12. So, well, you know, it's a little more in your favor. The weight guys will lose. I mean, we do know this too. as the guys will lose on the weight thing because they just, especially with women because they certainly don't want to make people feel bad. Sure.

You know, and we have a tendency to let kids do well. But that's part of the experience. I mean, I remember as a kid, my grandmother, we would go to all of these large carnivals. And I just have fond memories of that. And I think in this DNA,

we have so much abundance and we can get things. A $3 stuffed animals still thrills a child. And, you know, their eyes light up and they're so excited. And, you know, my basic role on the side is I work and answer questions at the ticket box or if people have questions. And as the night goes on, you know, less tickets are being sold to what haven't. So I wander and I do a lot of talking to people. And what is amazing to me is watching five-year-olds will tell you their whole story, their whole day. So, you know, that's why I got in the pro sports in the beginning, and it's been half my career doing that.

And that's why I do what I do now is to hear the stories from those kids. Yeah. You know, it's just, they're like, and this, this, and this. And it's just, it's, we talk about kids and young people not being able to express themselves. They can till around seven. And then I don't know what changes. but it gives me an encouragement that it's there, it's innate, and you see it in these younger kids,

and I just hope that we, you know, we balance our screen time with our experiential time, and those kids will still be able to tell stories when they're teenagers and when they're young adults and, you know, because those skills to be able to tell stories. I mean, I know I keep going back to the story thing is, but if you go back, I don't know, half million years, we've got drawings on cave walls.

Why is that? Because we like to tell stories. That's part of human nature is that that's how we share our existence. And I think carnivals have remained in the public eye because it lets communities share and tell their stories. It becomes a shared experience. What a beautiful sentiment. Thank you so much, Alan. Thank you for coming on.

And you're an incredibly interesting person. And I think that your job is super cool. So thank you. No problem. Thank you. Glad to be here. Absolutely. Cool.

Okay. So how can people learn more about this event this weekend? Go give a call to action. What do you want people to do? Well, you can pop on to, if you follow on social media, go to main event amusements. You'll see all of our stuff as it comes up. You know, we'll put all the information there. Like I said, admissions free, parking's free.

Really, as you go in gate six. That's my fears. People are going to go to the carnival and they're going to be like, oh, you've got to pay X amount of dollars. And they're going to be like, I thought it was free. And it's because while you'd be going to the other event. And I'll even plug them. They're good guys. I know all of those guys.

The food truck battle that's going on at the fairgrounds, go out, bring. your family out, check out the food truck battle. It's not that expensive. And then when you're done, come on over, get the treats, get the cotton candy, get the, you know, get the candy apples, get the snow cones from us, ride some rides and just making an entire family day. You know, it's going to be a really great weekend at the fairgrounds. Two great events. You know, I wish us both well and hopefully we have a great weekend. But everything's on main event amusements. We're on Instagram. Very simple. Main event amusements. See all of our A ride set up.

Videos of us going from zero to, you know, complete things. And then, you know, just follow us long because, you know, we swing back this way a little bit. I mean, Seneca, uh, Seneca County's not that far away, you know, for folks in Rochester. Because I know that, you know, this goes out out there. I mean, um, in Buffalo. I mean, we're at the Erie County Fair or Worthanger. So we've been to that a few times growing up. It's a, it's a, that's an amazing fairground.

So, you know, it's good. support your local, your local farmers, your local 4-H, because that's where it all started. You know, and these are people who, fairs aren't in the business of making money. They're in the business of being part of the community and giving kids an opportunity to, like I said, with 4-H, with raising animals. And it teaches them so much about business. You know, do I want to be a farmer? Do I want to stay in that business? And, you know, what you see is Cornell is very, very involved.

Coronel Cooperative does a lot of this because Cornell is probably the global leader in on the agricultural side so they're always a little bit ahead and they give back to the entire state so I know I rambled in that little end thing but it's just it's just wonderful I love the carnival stuff I love what we do yeah but it's a bigger picture it's a bigger community cool well Alan thank you so much ladies and gentlemen thank you so much for watching guys this show is filmed out of our new studio here in the former spaghetti warehouse location this is put on by Clickstream Studios.
