Contract value

$300,000

No contract amount is published. A typical county fair carnival contract covers the provision of rides, midway games, food concessions, staffing, insurance, and compliance oversight for a multi‑week event. Based on comparable fair contracts in the Pacific Northwest, annual carnival operations for a county of Snohomish’s size usually range between $200,000 and $500,000, depending on the number of rides, ticket pricing structure, and concession revenue sharing. Assuming a mid‑range scenario with 15–20 rides, moderate food operations, and standard insurance costs, a reasonable ball‑park estimate would be roughly $300,000. This estimate accounts for equipment rental, labor, insurance, permits, and a modest profit margin for the operator.
