Touch the Sky on Davis Shows
Northwest Carnival Rides
Oregon City’s Clackamette Park will be whirling
with excitement as Davis Shows Northwest’s car-
nival rides power up for a fun time during
Willamette Falls Festival. The Sizzler, Vertigo and
Dive Bomber will twirl, swing and dive thrill seek-
ers to their heart-pounding delight. Kids (and
all the playful at heart) will enjoy spinning in the
adorable Dizzy Dragon. Families may take their
visit to the heights of fun on the Crazy Bus and
end the day whooshing down the Goliath Slide.
Davis Shows Northwest is a locally-owned,
fourth-generation family company operated by
Pat and Geraldine Davis. Pat’s parents, Mannie
and Melba Davis, opened Davis Amusement
Company in Clackamas County back in 1950
and passed on the family tradition of providing
quality rides and games in a carnival atmo-
sphere. Now that Pat and Geraldine’s son has
graduated from Oregon City High School and
married his high school sweetheart, the two are
hoping to pass the business on to their grand-
children and make it a fifth-generation family
business.
