Carnival company keeps the fairground fun alive

From Afternoons, 2:20 pm on 12 November 2021

For over 70 years the Mahon family have been operating fairground rides all over the motu with their carnival company Mahon Amusements.

It's a business that thrives on crowds - but unfortunately, so does Covid-19.

Though they are usually based in Ngāruawāhia, they weren't caught up in the Waikato lockdown and are currently set up in the Whanganui Racecourse.

CJ Mahon talks to Jesse about the changes they've had to make to keep the show on the road.

If you're a Whanganui local, tickets for this weekend can be purchased here.
