Tupper Lake Lions' Club Carnival July 25-29,2012
By Diane Chase
For the 3rd year Amusements of America will be coming to Tupper Lake between stops at the Saratoga and Franklin County Fair. In case anyone is wondering about these traveling fairs, Saratoga County Fair (held in Ballston Spa) is one of the oldest fairs in New York State and still organized by the Saratoga Agricultural Society while the Franklin County Fair (held in Malone) is run by the Franklin County Agricultural Society and has continued to provide this annual event for over 150 years.
Now the Tupper Lake Lions Club has gotten into the carnival game. From July 25-29 at the Tupper Lake Municipal Park there will be an assortment of carnival rides for children of all ages, from rides for small children to something the parents can share like the Ferris wheel, merry-go-round or the “dizzy dragon.” I can’t tell you what the last one is because when I spoke with Maurice from Amusements of America it sounded like he was on the Ferris Wheel at Saratoga County Fair. He assures me that they are bringing rides that will entertain the young to teenagers.
This event will
continue to grow and more rides will be added, Maurice assures me, as
attendance grows just like the other events Amusements of America organizes
around the country. This event will have a great time for all and have
something for everyone.
Anywhere from 3-5 tickets are required for each ride.
Half price tickets may be purchased until the day of the event at either the
Wawbeek QuickStop in Tupper Lake or the Tupper Lake Village Office.
