🎠 What to Expect

If you’ve been to one of these before, you probably already know the vibes: tons of rides, fun games, and all the classic midway snacks. Some of the big rides people always talk about are:

  • Wind Glider

  • Tilt-A-Whirl

  • G-Force

  • Trabant

  • Bumper Cars

There’s usually something for every age group, whether you’re into fast spins or just there for the food and atmosphere.

📍 Worth Keeping an Eye On

It’s really nice to see how many towns they’re visiting again this year. For those planning summer outings or looking for something fun and local, this could be a great option. Their Facebook page and website usually have updates if anything changes or if weather causes delays, so those might be good to check closer to the date.

📅 If Select Shows is coming to your area, definitely worth swinging by. Always good to support fun local events — and honestly, who doesn’t love a good Ferris wheel ride?
