A friend I went to school with is on the local fair board. The Lewis County Fair seems to be doing well. The tractor pull is the big money maker (santioned NTPA event). The carny people I've talked to seem to be happy with the proceeds they take in. I do know that the live entertainment is a continual money loser. Expenses are too high for the size of the grandstand space. Although I believe that the Charlie Daniels show did well this year (cost em over $50,000). In regard to rigged games, Almost all of the games in the Colman Bros. midway are winner every time games. (at least on the two children's days anyway) Coleman is one of the better carny outfits. We had another carny outfit do the fair when I was younger. They were the type of carny outfit described below. Our county fairs' fortunes started to improve almost immediately after they were given the boot. Ours is still a true rural fair yet. The kids still raise their own show animals. on the other hand, if it wasn't for the tractor pull..........................................................The demolition derby used to bring in good decent money, but I didn't ask Gary how it does nowdays. As far as food goes, At least 50% of the food stands are local restuarants who set up at the fair every year. They do very well. Free admission brings in a lot of people who eat dinner on their lunch breaks that wouldn't otherwise go.
