Carnival provided $8,000 to fair “This year's carnival provided more revenue to the Nevada County District Fair board than ever in the past, the operator told The Union Tuesday. Pete Sutton, owner of Pacific Coast Shows, said the fair received $8,000 from his carnival at this. year's fair. That was $1,000 more than was received last year from_another firm and more than double the amount years from another operator, Sutton said. Sutton said the problem in getting rides operating on the first day, Thursday, was through "no lack of effort on our part." He noted that he and his two sons went three days and three nights withom sleep getting set up for the fair. The problems were two-fold, Sutton explained, First, he had difficulty in getting the equipment transported to the local site. Then, when rides were set up, several of the heavy pieces of machinery sank into the ground because the lawn had been watered too heavily prior to the carnival's arrival. "No one was more concerned about this show not being ready at 10 a.m. Thursday than I was," Sutton said. "We worked hard night and day to move stuff in here." Regarding a report that some girls were injured because a seat collapsed, Sutton said the seat didn't collapse. He contended the girls tried to get out while the seat was still spinning, and it threw them back into their seats, banging their heads. : The carnival operator was irritated at a report in Monday's Union quoting Fair . Manager Malcolm Hammill as saying Sutton did a good job after Hammill "gave him hell." _"T was never given hell by anyone," Sutton reported.
