Big A oppened yesterday under the new name of the fair "Adventure Park" to my suprise there are ONLY two games on the midway "Rising Waters" believed to be Jerry Payne's and the Bobo. the absence of games suggest that there's really not that much money to go around. I'll be summiting a list of rides, later on.

Sounds like everyone's in winter quarters ?
So, in a few years, if you're walking down a midway and see a Sixcat or a Swinger or a bucket, look around. You might recognize an old man with a smile on his face. Especially if he's saying, "Hey Buddy, can I ask ya?" -sixcat,circa. 2007

Usually Dale Bush and Bobby McNight come with their joints. Which include water racers and hanky panks but not this year... All the games are misssing in action. Me beeing a Jointie I look foward for the games... because that's where the people I know work. [V] Ill make the best of it though.

Holy Cow! I guess they lost so much last year that noone wants to go back! I can't believe that Jerry Payne would bring a water race in...but I guess he has a family to raise also....I just can't see him wasting his time on it....he does really well with the Xmas Tree lot he has and he also sells stock at that lot....

I wonder what Bobby McKnight is doing?? He has a family to run also...I can't picture those south florida fairs bringing in much money....I hope they are well...I even wonder if Dale Bush is with Big A anymore.....It seemed like he was backing away this past year...NO GAMES! I can't believe it....I hear the Bobo will be killed over there in PR....I heard they don't like the Bobo at all? Any truth to that??? Just curious! Keep us posted!!

Be, doppo al mio lavoro io sono andata al carnavale per fare alcune fotografie. Ma non so qui è Lei.

I hope that was ok, first semester of Italian don't use it that much so I'm starting to forget... [:(]

After work, I go to the carnival, hopefully today I'll get some pics of the rides...

I have friends that have worked for Dale, but don't really know who is Diego.

Marco-- Nice to see you do a little posting....Have you done any bowling lately??? I was with the show this spring when we all went bowling while we were at Hampton Coliseum. Hope Puerto Rico is better for you all this year!! How did the season end? Was Charleston good? I know the weather was a killer this year...that is why I had to get off the road..

Dang...wish I had the only TWO joints on that midway. Sounds like the market is cornered.

Hey Lucky,
No, I haven't been bowling since the spring. There was alot more rain and free time then. Where did you work?
The fall ended up pretty good. Unfortunatly, it still wasn't enough to catch up from the bad start. Oh well, there's always next year.
