Wade Shows Gross up 9% in West Palm, crews battle frigid temperatures in San Antonio
Wade Shows reported a 9% increase in carnival revenue at the South Florida Fair, which ended Sunday. The show is busy setting up equipment at the Florida State Fair in Tampa as well as the San Antonio Livestock Show in San Antonio, Texas. Frank Zaitshik reported bitter cold temperatures during set up in San Antonio. It was so cold that water lines were freezing and employees were moved from their bunk houses into hotels with better heating. “The guys are doing an unbelievable job and despite the obstacles, the show is just about ready”. San Antonio opens February 3 and runs through the 21st while the Florida State Fair runs February 10 through the 21st.
