You got to be kidding! Lawrence Carr! They use to play our fair back in the 80s Two kiddie rides and a couple of food joints pulled in. Larry did a good job in years past of bringing in the rides. The saga of the missing fair continues...LOL

The guy died this past year that did the booking. They have a new guy booking carnivals and someone said that they want more of a variety of rides they only brought in maybe 12 rides and used only the front of the grounds. The place is packed almost everynight and i guess people might have complained. I enjoyed SMA they had played since 94 when they got the spot from Stine Amusements. Before Stine it was McDaniel Bros.Shows and Lawrence Carr and AofA.

Jagger, SMA is the old Stine show. Billy & Sue Clark renamed it to Smokey Mountain after they purchased it. Can't wait for your report of how things are next week and what show actually arrives! Btw, Strates is the only carnival currently traveling by train and has been the only one for years.

Whichever one you end up with will be a far cry from SMA.
