Band Festival Carnival Tickets Remain Inexpensive, Despite Rising Diesel Costs

Todd Merriam of Merriam’s Midway Shows indicated to staff Wednesday night that carnival tickets for the North Iowa Band Festival would remain consistent with prices from last year, despite diesel fuel costs rising extensively over the past year.

Merriam, whose carnival is based out of Texas, says this may not be the case throughout the rest of their Summer, but that he wanted to give North Iowans a carnival they recognize at a price they can afford.
