Fairs and Festivals aren't just entertainment, they're family traditions that bring joy to generations! A family tradition you may not even be aware of is the Butler Amusements family, which provides the carnivals and midway entertainment to dozens of California fairs and fests as it has for over 40 years. The largest carnival company in the Western United States provides carnivals for over 120 different events each year with over 125 amusement rides. Butler Amusements, Inc. was founded in 1970 by George Butler, wife Evalyn, and son Earl, making its debut at a shopping center in Mountain View, California. That winter the Butlers signed their first fair contract at the Redwood Empire Fair in Ukiah.

Hat's off to this great family business that became an empire of its own!
