KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Crews are getting ready for the Tennessee Valley Fair to open Friday afternoon. That means not only putting the rides together, but also multiple safety checks between now and then.

"Wade Shows, LLC, who provides our Midway, has been an industry leader for over 100 years. They've been in this industry. They're great. They inspect our rides," said Tennessee Valley Fair Public Relations Coordinator Sarah Thompson.



The Tennessee Division of Boiler, Elevator and Amusement Device Inspection also checks the rides before anyone arrives.

"[Wade Shows, LLC's] policy is that they inspect the rides three times. The state of Tennessee also has the option to come out and inspect. Safety is our number one priority here, so we make sure that everything is inspected. Professionals are running the rides at all times, and we just want everyone to come out and have a great time with their family," Thompson added.
