Jacob, if there were an award for commitment to the art and crafting of vlogs and for continued excellence in content, you should get it.

FINALLY!!! Every time we go to a fair we look for you! My husband works for Eudora & did your camel ride, thank you for taking pics with him and being so nice! You’ve been shaping our family vacations for years and we were so excited to be a part of yours! 🐪❤

I've never been more excited to do a ride than when I saw Jacob standing in my camel ride line. I wanted to push everyone outta the way to get you up there. So happy I got to meet you it was a great day!!

Truly outstanding! Jacob, one can tell how hard you’ve worked over the years by the fact that now you make it look easy. But your style has now been honed over hundreds of videos, and through persistence, you have created a fully 3 dimensional character who is a blast to spend time with, puts one completely at ease and puts positivity out into the world. No kidding, the Carpetbagger is so engaging I can actually see a feature film or two based on his exploits. It is gratifying to me to see how your hard work over the years is paying such dividends, and I don’t mean only financial. Your content and the way you present it grows and grows. Keep the quality up and I believe you will reap rewards you have yet to dream of. Thanks

When you eventually make it to the CA state fair you will have to check out the county dioramas. Each county does a large scale diorama, some have basic animatronics, some are semi walk through. I think they are different every year and they always do a good job on them. It's quite a bit better than the bookcases you showed at this fair. Its also a semi-competition because they give out awards like 'best design' or 'best special effects' etc.

@nowhereman4104 11 ай бұрын

Your summer of carousels should end with the best one ever. The indoor carousel in Kingsport, TN. All the animals are handmade by local artists. There is also a muffler man and a giant Indian statue too! You need to come see!

That Zierer Indy 500 coaster has been with the Riethhoffer Shows carnival since 1975 and I rode it in 1980 as a kid. There are very few still around much less ones that travel. It concerns me that some of their equipment and operations need improvement as seen in your video: malfunctioning carrousel horse, crummy interior of haunted house ride, employees not paying attention, paint and new padding/seats needed (Indy 500) that's not from this year's use. I'm sure their margins are tight but you see other traveling carnival companies like Ray Cammack Shows really putting in the extra effort.

@RayPVideos 11 ай бұрын

But Reithoffer is the “Aristocrat of Show Business” 😅. Their Orange Unit plays the Canfield Fair near me and the rides there aren’t much better. We don’t even get a dark ride. 🤷🏻‍♂️. But it is interesting to see that Flitzer. I believe they have 2 still. Haven’t had a chance to ride one since the 80’s!

@JEdwardBanasikJr 11 ай бұрын

Ha Ha! What I mainly remember is paying for two fountain drinks and all they did was split a 15 cent can of coke into two ice filled cups right in front of me on the counter. The least they could of done was rip me off where I wouldn't see it.@@RayPVideos

Scarecrows only work if you move them around the garden. If left in one place for too long its a perch. It also helps to hang flashy things on them like silver ribbons or shiny CDs. A mounted whirley-gig works too.

Random obscure information: the "camel saddle" is known to the old-timers as a "howdy", which is a corruption of the word "howdah". This also applies to the ones used for elephant rides.

Hey Jacob, I just love watching your videos and seeing the places you go to. I like watching you on the carnival rides. Here's a place you should check out. Its called Bearizona in Arizona. Lots of bears and other wildlife like deer, bison, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, river otters, arctic wolves and more. You can do a drive through and a walk through tour. You would like it. Hope you do go there. I would love to see your take on Bearizona.

Nashville was a blast too ...went to country music hall of fame and our cabin in the woods plus Titantic and Crime museum the last time we were down there from Detroit Michigan area and my phone rebooted itself up in the mountains and crashed my memory drive , causing me to lose over 5000 pics including my vacation pics .

Haunted house dark rides at fairs are a dying breed! My area’s traveling midway circuit that comes to all the fairs (Fiesta Shows) used to have both a haunted house walkthrough and a dark ride but they haven’t made an appearance at any fairs since 2019 and I fear they are gone for good. Also with the pigs pooping on the track, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a pig race where that DIDN’T happen, it is because they’ve been kept inside the trailer for a long time and don’t want to go inside, so they go as soon as they’re outside. They are smart animals and basically housetrain themselves.
