AUSSIE KINGDOM
The only Traveling Australian Animal Stage Show in the United States
Our world is home to millions of different and awe-inspiring animals, all wondrous and amazing.
Australia is home to a total of 379 species of mammals of which 357 are indigenous to the continent. 159 of these mammals are marsupials, mammals where the females have pouches in which to rear their young. The most popular of the marsupials are the kangaroos, wallabies and walleroos. Ranging in size from 1 foot to over 6 feet tall, Aussie Kingdom features these remarkable creatures and other native Australian wildlife in an educational and entertaining program at fairs and festivals around the country.
MARK PRESTON’S
“COMEDY SAFARI SHOW”
Birds are for everyone! With this in mind come prepared to enjoy a fun filled time as Mark Preston and his “Comedy Safari Show” entertain you. Mark and his macaws and molucan cockatoos will bring magic and tricks to rival any bird show in the country.
They talk, play dead, ride radio controlled cars and make kids squeal with delight. They bring magic, along with audience participation.
Preston rescued these birds from humane societies across the state of Colorado where the Prestons are from. All of these birds were homeless and unwanted before they found new beginnings in the comedy safari show. Preston now considers them his true partners.
FIREFIGHTER TRAINING SHOW
The “Firefighter Training Show” is a great family show that offers the audience non-stop entertainment and plenty of education. Plus, children who have dreamed of one day becoming a firefighter will now have that chance.
Kids take part in the show and are encouraged to practice life saving skills such as "don't hide, get outside" and "crawl low, under smoke".
HEDRICK PETTING ZOO
Joe and Sondra Hedrick have all kinds of animal attractions at their ranch just outside of Hutchinson, Kansas – and Salem fairgoers are lucky that they bring their unique petting zoo to town each summer.
Kids of all ages have a rare chance to get up close and personal with camels, donkeys, Pygmy goats, llamas and an assortment of other animals. It’s an exciting and educational experience for each and every fairgoer.
THE TIGER ENCOUNTER
This exotic animal production brings you both an inspirational and educational program featuring Bengal Tigers.
Although all the behaviors are natural they provide entertainment rarely seen by the public. For example, you will see the elephant paint, play basketball, soccer, play a harmonica and even enjoy its daily shower. At the same time the audience is educated on its origins, mating, feeding and family activities.
Bengal Tigers who are also on display helping to educate the public on this endangered species. The Tigers are well cared for and loved. They consume 12-14 lbs. of beef or chicken daily and undergo regular medical check-ups by a certified Vet.
Fortunately, these incredible cats, as well as the elephants, are helping to save the lives of many others in captivity by raising funds for the Wild Life Rescue Center in N. Ft. Myers, Florida, a “not for profit” organization.
DAIRY FARM ON WHEELS
Get a taste of the country right in the middle of the city as the Salem Fair once again presents the Dairy Farm on Wheels – Small World of Agriculture. Kids and adults will feel like they’re down on the farm in this educational exhibit.
