The Canfield,Ohio fair signed Reithoffer Shows to play the fair for 3 years,replacing Bates Bros. They will be coming from the State Fair of West Virginia. I will not have to leave town to see a big show.
Happy for you...Coincidentally, in 2007, Reithoffer came to our small town local 4th of July Fest to fill in a spot because our regular Show suddenly shut down with little notice, like ten weeks prior to the event. And yes, we too got the Dutch Wheel, as well as another four-trailer piece, the Tornado. They made like a 700-800 mile jump to come here, but they were coming this way anyway, because shortly after our spot they were playing a major fair in Missouri.
I'll never forget that we got one of America's premier Shows, a signature ride, and Pal Fontana, once upon a time in a small Indiana town. Still to this day, I don't know that they ever have played another Indiana spot other than ours?
Enjoy the Show.
I've never been "with it", just been an interested observer of carnivals for more than 50 years.

The carnival of my youth, which had roots that originated in my hometown.
