Northwest Washington Fair upgrades carnival by partnering with Funtastic Traveling Shows

The Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden will be working this year with the region’s largest provider of carnival rides and games, Funtastic Traveling Shows. More than 3 million people, including attendees of the Washington State Fair in Puyallup and the Oregon State Fair, visit Funtastic Traveling Shows each year. “Funtastic Traveling Shows is widely respected as one of the safest and cleanest carnivals in the West,” said Jim Baron, general manager of the Northwest Washington Fair. “They’ll bring new rides and games of every kind, providing excellent family entertainment.” Founded in 1971, Funtastic Traveling Shows is based in Portland, Ore.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
