Recertification is required every four years, and we maintain it to this day. The Thomas Carnival was founded in by Art B. Thomas in Lennox, South Dakota.
The Thomas Carnival has been owned and operated by the members of the Thomas family continuously since then. Presently there are fourth generation family members working in the business. Art initially began the carnival with two attractions operating in the southeastern area of South Dakota.
Over the years the operating area has grown larger and the number of attractions has increased where now our area of operation includes 10 states and we can offer up to 50 rides, 50 games and 15 food concessions.
We also provide our customers with many creature comforts including shaded rest areas with benches, covering for hoses and wires, signs and instructions regarding game and ride rules and operations, but most importantly, easy access to staff members in case of a concern or problem.
We have provided a safe, clean, wholesome entertainment environment just as Art B. Thomas envisioned. When you walk our midways you will notice our customers having fun. Thomas Obituary. Bernard Thomas was the innovator of the Universal Ticket System used by virtually traveling carnivals today. Tickets bought at any ticket selling location can be used for admission on any ride.
We know how many tickets are sold each day and at the end of that day weigh all tickets used for admission at each ride, allowing us to balance ticket sales and redemption and also to monitor the popularity of each individual ride. You, as the sponsor, receive a computer generated ticket sales report for each day of operation. All ticket sales are shown on that report. The list is only as short as the imagination. Having been in the entertainment industry since , we have acquired the knowledge and expertise of fair and carnival operations.
Whether you are looking for a carnival or need assistance in planning or organizing your event, we are available to help you by either providing equipment or consultations. For more information about consulting and coordination, please contact Tom Atkins at or John Hanschen at Born on the prairies of South Dakota, the Mighty Thomas Carnival has grown to become one of the finest midways in North America and has put on quality shows across the Midwest, the South, the Western States and Canada since It has a proud family lineage that has seen four generations of ownership with a fifth generation on the road in Carnival founder Art B.
Arriving in America during the late s, the Thoms family homesteaded two farms in Iowa and North Dakota. As a young man Art served as a fireman on the railroad, while his brother Walt was an auto body repairman, and his oldest brother Vern worked as a mechanic. Art invested in a Town Pump concession and accompanied Dixon from town to town selling ice-cold lemonade.
He decided to change his name from Thoms to Thomas, as the phonetics was more appealing for his new enterprise: the Art B. Thomas Shows. Making his winter quarters in Lennox, South Dakota, Art started off on a season that lasted from May to September, each spot lasting one or two days. By he decided to split the show into two units, running one himself, and his wife Ann running the other. He brought along his wife Florence, and their children, Bernard and Doris.
Bernard, who was 7 years old when he joined the carnival, enjoyed the experience. He recounts those first early years:.
My Dad had arranged the car so that he and my Mother slept on the floor and he made a shelf for my sister and I to sleep above them. He built a large trunk on the back that contained a gas stove, pots, pans, dishes and eating utensils. We never went to a restaurant. The next season, my sister and I slept in one of the merry-go-round trucks, which also housed one of the gasoline powered electric generators. Our bed consisted of the two chariots and a mattress. My father finally built a home-made trailer house that sufficed for a couple of seasons.
He and his wife Pauline travelled with the show performing as the Magical Mortons or the Great Mortoni. Harold Baker was blown to bits in this blast of 10, pounds of gunpowder and 3, pounds of dynamite explosion, while Helen Seller crawled to safety after being slugged with hammer and shot eight times.
Helen Seller has been engaged with the Art B. Thomas Bombshell of for the remainder of the season, and in her own words you will have the opportunity to hear the story of one of the weirdest tragedies ever to befall a human being without resulting in immediate death.
By the fleet had grown to almost 40 trucks, and up to people traveled with the show. A specially built long cookhouse truck provided employee meals free of charge, a service that was maintained until
