The ribbon has yet to be cut on this year’s Hopkins County Dairy Festival, but one favorite among kids and the young at heart is back for a four-night stint. Triple T Amusement is all set up on the Hopkins County Civic Center grounds Wednesday evening, gearing up to offer fun, thrills, delights, games and prizes.
The Tripe T Amusements Carnival is open from 6 p.m. until about 11 p.m. Wednesday, June 1, and continuing through Saturday, June 4, 2022 — barring inclement weather. Wristbands are available for $20 each Wednesday and Thursday nights and for $25 Friday and Saturday from the booth at the carnival.
The carnival offers quite a few rides, ranging from a helicopter and elephant swings for young kids, to the more traditional Ferris wheel for those a little older, and for those a little more daring, Triple T Amusements offers the Viper, Hurricane, MagicMaze, “Scooter” (bumper type cars) and Blizzard.
