Founded In 1957

the Midwest Showmen's Association was started by a small group of men involved in the indoor/outdoor amusement profession in the area. They saw a need for a social and fraternal organization, which would give them an opportunity to meet in a commonplace during the off-season, provide a social outlet, and exchange of ideas that would be beneficial to all.
