What is done during the event to ensure the rides are
safe?
Fiesta Shows has a full-time Ride Supervisor on each unit. The Ride Supervisor and his
staff individually inspect each ride every day prior to opening. This ensures that nothing
might have happened during non-operating hours. The Ride Supervisor is specially-trained
and responsible for the day-to-day operation and safety of each ride.
Additionally, Fiesta Shows employs a Safety Engineer, Wally Wagemaker. Wally has over 40
years of safety experience and is responsible for Fiesta Shows' Safety Program.

Who puts together the advertising for the event?
The advertising and marketing for an event is a joint effort between Fiesta Shows and the
sponsor. Fiesta Shows coordinates with its advertising agency to place a mix of print,
radio, and television advertising. Additionally, we may print posters, coupons, and other
signage announcing the event.
The sponsor can assist and coordinate with Fiesta Shows' efforts by:
Obtaining approval from local zoning authorities to hang banners announcing the event.
When approval is obtained, the sponsor can then contact area beverage distributors
(Coca-Cola or Pepsi-Cola, etc) for a banner. Often times, distributors will print event
banners free-of-charge for events like this.
Forwarding event information to the local cable television carrier.
Releasing a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to radio stations, and press releases to
local newspapers announcing the event.
Fiesta Shows' marketing staff will assist you with these matters, upon request.

What is required at each site prior for the carnival
to setup?

for power and are otherwise completely self-contained.

What does it cost to bring Fiesta Shows to town?
Commitment. If you, as a sponsor, work with Fiesta Shows and your local community to
produce an event, the costs of moving and operating the event are generally covered by
Fiesta Shows. The fundraising benefits to your organization can be great as you can easily
realize substantial proceeds from a successful event.

Does the sponsoring organization need to supply any
employees during the run of the event?
No need! Fiesta Shows is entirely self-sufficient. No labor is required for the setup,
operation, or dismantling of the amusement rides for the event. If you would like to
provide volunteers to help run the event, we can sometimes use them as additional ticket
sellers.
