Butler Amusements

Madge Blurton, Account Executive, Allied Specialty Insurance:
"Butler Amusements is continuing its record as one of the safest carnival operations in North America. Your continuous dedication to safety and employee training has produced outstanding results throughout your company's thirty-six years of business."

Tom Carey, Independent Ride Inspector, Comspeg International:
"Equally impressive was the training program for the ride operators and the fact that this show has one of the best drug-testing programs I have ever seen.... Butler Amusements is already there, well ahead of the curve. As a National Association of Amusement Ride Safety Officials (NAARSCO) Education and Certification board member, I'm asked to provide instruction on those standards at our annual seminars. I could have written my course syllabus from their program."

Ron Brandt, CEO of the Merced County Fair, Los Banos:
"It is my pleasure to recommend Butler Amusements as they have consistently provided excellent service. The commitment they have made in recent years is phenomenal. Little things like rest areas, colorful new game tents and statues have greatly added to the overall atmosphere of the show. The new rides are fantastic to look at and exciting to ride...New rides attract more fairgoers and handle more riders per hour reducing the lines while increasing the ride gross. The customer, the fair and the carnival all WIN!"

Tom L. Taylor, Security Director for the Western Idaho Fair states:
"Working with the Butler family has been a positive experience from the beginning. Everything about Butler Amusements is generated towards a positive experience for your family. Their program is professional, well-managed, and very receptive to law enforcement."

Michael and Karen Searle, Executive Directors of the Maricopa County Fair in Arizona:
"During the fair we couldn't have asked for better service and attention. The carnival made us proud. Butler Amusements delivered high quality rides that were always clean, open on time, and operated by personnel that were professional in both appearance and performance...Butler Amusements has gone to create a comfortable atmosphere with decorations, seating and even character garbage cans."

Bob Batista, CFE, Western Idaho Fair:
"If I were to give Butler Amusements an overall rating, it would have to be an "A+". They do a good job; they are on time; they are friendly; and they continue to improve their product in the form of rides and the aesthetic amenities that invites you to come into the carnival area."

Greg Hegwer, CEO Gold Country Fair, Auburn, CA:
"The Board of Directors and the fair staff has been very pleased by the number of compliments that they have received regarding the operation and appearance of the carnival and the courtesy that the ride and game operators have shown to the families from our community. I have always had a very positive relationship with Butler Amusements and can assure anyone contracting with this carnival, that they will be extremely satisfied with their performance. I personally believe that they are one of the best carnivals serving California."

Paul Slocum, CEO, Salinas Valley Fair, King City, CA:
"One of the great features they offer to their clients is that they go beyond the realm of the standard contract to ensure the satisfaction of their service. Their adaptability to the constant changes, which are sometimes required in producing a show, is a great attribute. Their awareness of each specific clients needs is probably the main reason their carnivals often result in success."

Jim Tatum, CEO, Eastern Sierra Tri-County Fair, Bishop, CA:
"Customer complaints have been virtually eliminated and our carnival gross has grown in excess of 60%. A profit center of this magnitude normally requires significant staff time, not the case with Butler Amusements. Point them toward the lot and get out of the way! From pre-fair promotion to post fair cleanup and tear down, they are extremely self-sufficient."
