Having been raised on the carnival and working in carnival games from a young age, Vince Heiman always thought of owning his own show one day. For several years he not only worked as a full-time mechanic he also raised two children and worked weekends during the summer whenever possible in the carnival scene he loved. It even became more evident to Vince that owning a show of his own was where his passion was while working with his mentor, the late Chuck Waterman.In 2017 the opportunity arose for Vince to manage a show in regard to the maintenance, tear down, moving and set up of the rides, games and food concessions. By this time, Vince owned his own games and he also became the proud owner of food concession. By the end of the season and after much consideration, Vince made the decision to purchase his own show which is now known as Badgerland Midways, LLC.
Vince is joined by his daughter Gabby. She owns a food trailer along with a game and makes sure everything is going. Any and all paperwork questions go to her. She does a little of everything around the Midway.
We are a mid-size carnival with 20 rides, 10 games and 5 food concessions, this is a lifelong dream of show owner Vince Heiman. As he says You can have a blood transfusion, but you can never get the carnival out of your system.
During the off-season, Vince and Gabby continues working to make improvements on the rides, games and food concession trailers. Safety is a key Proity when purchasing and Improving equpitment. Family Fun is what we strive to do having something for all age groups not necessary catering to just one age group.
