Let's take a trip back to where it all began. In the 1960s, Russell Gorden and his wife Shirley Lorraine Harris set the stage for a magical experience that would captivate young audiences. With four boys and a girl, they  named it the Harris Brothers Carnival, They began laying the groundwork for a cherished legacy of family entertainment with a unique little Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, a larger merry-go-round, a rail train, and a food canteen. The highlight was the big Ferris wheel that attracted crowds from all over. The Harris family loved to travel throughout the South Island of New Zealand bringing joy and excitement to communities along the way. Their passion for creating unforgettable memories for families everywhere! Join us as we celebrate those early days and the joy, they brought countless!
