CARLYLE - Ten years ago, the Carlyle Fun Dayz committee created an event that was for the end of summer.
It has continued to grow, is well known in the area and held the third week in August, with entertainment throughout the day and evening, a large craft show, food vendors and games for kids.
During these 10 years, they have also been trying to lock in a carnival with a midway to start off the summer season. Tim Sedor said his wife Jen has been persistent with contacting companies in the hopes that one might take the chance.
When a carnival or midway comes to a town, it needs to make sure that it will be worth their while to go through all the work with setting up the large equipment.
Jen Sedor's constant pressure has paid off and the Canuck Amusements Midway from Selkirk, Man., will be in Carlyle from June 28-30, and will be set up at the Carlyle Sports Arena.
The amusement venture began in 1970 when Bob Sr. was asked to help a friend. A few years later, he ventured out on his own, with his family in support.
Canuck Amusements is a family-owned business that enjoys bringing the thrill of the rides, the excitement of winning a teddy bear and of course all the carnival treats.
The company prides itself on having dedicated, friendly and well-trained staff and all have three amusement device mechanics on hand at all times.
It is fully licensed and insured for all the provinces. Their season runs from April to October.
Sedor and the Carlyle Fun Dayz committee is thrilled to finally make this work and ask that people look forward for the updates that will come.
They also have big plans for the 10th anniversary of the Carlyle Fun Dayz that will happen in August.
