Carnival
Boden Amusements bring their best to Arthur for this week in July.
"I can to this day still picture us sitting us on our bikes, lined up in a perfect row, our entire group of kids on the edge of the Fairgrounds that afternoon. We watched everything in awe while quietly debating what carnival ride was still on a truck or being unloaded. That’s the “kiddie rides,” the Merry Mixer, the Tilt-a-Whirl, the Parachutes, the Rock o’ Planes, the Swings, Dodge cars, and the Octopus.
Come continue the thrill of the midway this year with Boden Amusements. Memories are waiting to be made for the young and the young at heart.
