Super Fair is open at World Wide Technology Raceway

MADISON, Ill.—For the first time, Kissel Entertainment brings its Super Fair to the St. Louis area.

Festivities at World Wide Technology Raceway kicked off Saturday with storm clouds causing minor disruption. Nevertheless, guests indulged in tasty turkey legs, fried Oreos and other fair offerings.

“You can expect a bunch of brand new rides,” said Barend Botha, Kissel Entertainment. “You have to ride the Astro Wheel and the carousels. Those are carnival classics. You have to play some games and you have to get a funnel cake.”

Those who wanted a thrill or a challenge, hopped to the rides and games. Many of the stuffed-animal prizes are of characters were exclusively designed by Kissel Entertainment. A spokesman says anyone can have fun at this fair due to an exclusive certification.

“We are KultureCity certified. We are the only carnival in the United States that has the certification. Staff's been trained to help you on and off of rides. (If) you indicate to them that, ‘hey, I am in need of assistance.’ They all know where to send you and how to get you accommodated.”

Botha notes this separates them from other fairs that may not focus on meeting the needs of every person that comes in.

“Having that accessibility and having that program in place benefits not just us but the community as well. Allowing everybody to come in and enjoy the fun.”
