I was told it was Gary Southward out of Minnesota. He has had his show parked for several years now and has many rides he parts out as well as repairing ongoing projects. I look forward to seeing the episode.

Gary is a good friend
The main reason gary parked the show was because
A few years ago some thieves got into his winter quarters
And stole all the lead lines off his rides and all the wire
out of his generator and the and the rim off his sky diver etc etc
Even though the thieves and put them in prison gary got nothing
besides the rides outside in the buildings are a Tilt MGR wheel
roundup 5 kid rides swinger tm loop-o-plane tm octopus
Gary can build or rebuild anything he just finished building a kiddie tug boat
ride that racks in the back of a pu truck gary will be at gibtown
with the new ride
since he was robbed he has installed a full security system
including guard dogs

Saw the episode last night. First time I've sat down and watched. Interesting show. Also, my friend and groomsman in my wedding was on that show recently. His family has a place up in Almont MI they did an episode at. Was pretty cool to see clips of it last night on one of the commercials.
