In the March 2004 issue:  


  There is definitely a patriotic flair to Mid America Shows' midway, with American flags and a red, white and blue theming.

  The 2003 Minnesota State Fair once again fielded a wide array of rides and games on their independent midway. With over 1.7 million visitors to the event, read how they experienced the thrills and fun that the midway provided them.

  Down Memory Lane takes a look at an old show name that recently seemed to be experiencing a comeback. Eastern Seaboard Shows was on the road only one season, but left a lasting impression.

  The meeting for the fair associations for North Carolina and South Carolina brought together some new faces in town and the talk was about the poor effect the weather had on the carnival scene, however, a strong sense of optimism was prevalent.

  The second and concluding chapter on the O.C. Buck/Buck Page Exposition details the show's transition from rail to truck and its eventual dissolution.

  CARNIVAL took a walk Out and About to North Carolina-based Michael's Amusements' midway.

  Do you remember the Allan Herschell 1960 Twister? This improved piece offered more safety features and greater profit potential.

  Midway Personality profiles Jeff Przybycke, part of the Louisiana -based Jim's Rides, Inc., a company founded and owned by his father, Jim Przybycke.

  Manufacturer's Showcase preview's Majestic Manufacturing's new flying coaster ride, Catch 'n Air; and for those who provide games on the midway, there's New Jersey-based State Fair Supply.

  The History of Train Shows concludes its story line on ride manufacturer Eyerly Aircraft Company, and continues with the state of the industry as it headed out of World War II and into the growth period of the 1950s.

  The IISF Trade Show is not only a great business experience, but also an opportunity for those in the industry to get together to review and preview.

  The Concessions section presents a history of concession supplier Victor Products.

  Also, in the Concessions section, games agent Korena Hornberger discusses her past, her present and her future in the business.

  There is an historic C.W. Parker carousel in Brenham, Texas that once traveled the highways of the country, and now is in need of some financial backing to maintain its operation.

  Plus regular CARNIVAL features including Direct From the Lots, Midway Talk, Classified Ads, and Modeler's Corner.

 

All between the covers of CARNIVAL magazine.
