HORSEHEADS, N.Y. (WETM) –The Chemung County Fair will have rides this year.

The Chemung County Fair announced on Facebook that it found a new midway provider after its previous provider, Wheelock Rides, went out of business and invalidated its contract with Chemung County. After looking into more than a dozen different ride companies, the fair’s board of directors secured a deal with SwikaS Amusements to provide the carnival for the 182nd Chemung County Fair.
