Bates Brothers Amusement Rides

We have received many positive comments concerning the safe, clean and exciting rides that BATES BROTHERS AMUSEMENTS has provided for our Festival for the past few summers. Those comments made us aware that BATES BROTHERS and their family of friendly and courteous workers had to be invited to return to our 2011 Festival. Eric Bates & Company promises even more excitement for our Festival patrons this year. Festival-goers of all ages will enjoy the rides, games and carnival foods of BATES BROTHERS. All Amusement rides will require a Bates Ride Ticket Pass that may be purchased on festival grounds. Hold on to your hats and enjoy the exciting amusement rides at the Canton Italian Festival.
