A Family Business Since 1956

Over 40 years ago Ray and Veryl Cammack founded RAY CAMMACK SHOWS in Lennox, South Dakota. Their business exploded over the years to become the 2nd largest carnival company in the industry in North America and #1 in the US!*

Their daughter Charlene and her husband Guy took over the company and eventually relocated to Laveen, Arizona in 1981.  Charlene Leavitt is Vice President of Finance, and Guy is President and CEO.

When Guy first met Charlene, he already had a great deal of carnival management under his belt.  Harley Leavitt, his late father, owned Great Western Carnival Co., which later merged with RCS.  Today, a number of Leavitt’s’ extended family have a hand in the company’s growth and success.

What are the secrets to RCS’ rise to stardom?  It’s all in the details.  Walk around the midway and many of those details will be obvious.   RCS prides itself – not just in world-class rides, food, games & fun – but also in its world-class service, and high standards of cleanliness & guest comfort.

RCS spends over $175,000 per year on drug and alcohol testing.  RCS employees—from the part-timers hired at each event, to the top brass—are subject to random drug and alcohol testing at all times…an unprecedented standard in the industry.

You will notice clean, pressed uniforms, and smiling “groomed” faces.  You won’t see tattoos and body piercings.

A cohesive team of more than 300 RCS employees travels from event to event throughout the year.  RCS strives to create a positive “family” environment, providing amenities such as mobile housing, beauty salon, fully stocked commissary store, and child-care enrichment center with innovative educational activities.

RCS is fully self-containedwith equipment to assemble and disassemble the entire Midway also and has the ability to generate its own power!  RCS events feature 45 of the safest, most exciting rides available, 8 food service units set up in a mini-cafe setting with shaded seating areas, and 35 game booths that award one million prizes annually. RCS is proud to serve approximately 8 million customers each year who enjoy our midways throughout the western United States!
