After the unfortunate closure of the carnival company used for the 2012 Richland County fair, the Richland County Fair Commission decided to bring in the multi-state amusement group. North Star Amusements base offices in Cody, Wyoming and Billings, Montana and boasts nineteen rides and twenty-one games of skill that will tempt all of us to enjoy the carnival as we did as youngsters. Owner Bret McKenney keeps his employees busy and customers happy with 22 weeks of carnivals during the summer months.
Jamie Larson, the Richland County Fair manager says that North Star Amusements is a promising group with such a large variety of enjoyment for all ages. With North Star Amusements’ reputation (Ravalli County has just enjoyed the 20th year with North Star Amusements) we will likely enjoy these rides and games for many years to come. Their Facebook page has great pictures and comments and be sure to visit their website at http://www.northstaramusements.com.
Enjoy North Star Amusements’ rides and games from Wednesday July 31 through Saturday August 6th. All day admission/ride tickets are available for pre-purchase at the fair office only for $20 until the carnival starts at 4 p.m. July 31st. After that tickets will be available at the carnival for $25. Admission buttons are $5/pre-sale and are available at financial instututions in Sidney as well as Merchants Bank in Fairview; the price will increase to $8 during the week of the fair.
