Gentle George D’Olivo is a kid’s best friend. His company, Classic Amusements, provides exciting rides, games and concessions for special events throughout the West. D’Olivo’s well-maintained equipment, friendly staff and selection of sought-after attractions have turned the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival into a “can’t miss” event for families. “Bring out the whole family,” said D’Olivo. “It’s the best family entertainment value around.” Tickets are $1 a piece and most of the rides charge 3 tickets. Discounts are available based on the number of tickets you buy. Classic Amusements plans to bring out many of its nostalgic carnival rides like Zoom—a true piece of Americana—it’s the actual ride, fully restored, that appeared in the legendary 1978 movie Grease and the Froghopper, a guaranteed tummy tickler, taking riders 25’ in the air and bounce dropping them like a frog. Get ready for lift-off on the exciting Kidz Kopters ride. Jump for joy on one-of-a-kind themed bouncers. Kids love their colorful appearance and boundless excitement. The bouncers are forced-air inflated with soft “pillow” flooring and walls for maximum safety. There’s the Barrel of Monkeys bounce house and the Tsunami Tidal Wave slide where kids can run, jump and bounce with their play pals.
