Topic moved to main forum for more exposure.

Have you tried the following NY shows:

Playland Amusements (Auburn, NY)
Hammerl Amusements (Buffalo area)
Main Event Amusements (Solvay, NY)
Ontario Amusements (Oswego, NY)
American Amusement Rental (Franklinville, NY)

All of these shows play the Rochester/Western NY area.

Ketch shows operated out of the Rochester area in the 70's. Show went out of business by the early 80's. Vic Ketch died a few years ago.

Didn’t he have a daughter? I only met him a few times, but he seemed like a good guy. RIP

Had a good buddy that worked for him in the ‘70s named Steve Siders, wonder what he’s doing.

Yes we had used American Amusements in the past few years, but there is a possible date conflict with them. So I need to find a replacement asap. I have contacted most of the close shows. I was hoping someone would know if anyone had opening that are coming through the area.
