Otterbacher Enterprises

About the Company

It started in 1959 when Richard and June Otterbacher decided to sell popcorn and candy apples for extra money. Before long they had 5 popcorn trailers playing county fairs and festivals throughout Ohio. Then in 1963 they purchased a couple of rides and booked them with several shows. By 1966 they formed a show called Otterbacher Amusement Company and continued growing to a two-unit 38-ride show.
