Wade Shows was founded in 1912 by Lee Wade. The show played small events in and around Detroit, Michigan. For 93 years, Wade Shows has been the leader in bringing affordable family entertainment to the people of Michigan and as the company has grown carnival fans throughout the country. As the company has expanded, we continue this tradition with our customers throughout the country.

Frank has taken the company from a small, Michigan based show to a truly national organization with offices in both Michigan and Florida. Frank’s style of personal management, team building and continuous improvement is the guiding force to the phenomenal success of the show.

Wade Shows now owns over 100 amusement rides and attractions and services over 15 million people each year. Wade Shows plays more State Fairs than any other carnival in history, working with great events such as the Oklahoma State Fair, the North Carolina State Fair, the Michigan State Fair, The New Mexico State Fair, the Delaware State Fair, the Florida State Fair, and the Alabama National Fair. Wade Shows also works with many large county and regional fairs as well as city and civic sponsored events. One of America's premier carnival companies, Wade Shows is consistently ranked as one of the top five amusement companies by our industry’s leading trade magazine: Amusement Business.

Comment by RICHIE on March 18, 2011 at 6:31pm

ya that  News  on Avery Jr  was  older  yet I guess Hit is a  ride and  route man only and  dont keep on the  Employee"s or  People  that run the  Units

I guess  they  maybe  have  Gotten Avery Wheelock  at a  Much cheaper  price  than the other guy  that  Left the  show
