NEW BERLIN – Milford Academy’s front lawn is filled with carnival rides for the 45th annual Youth Days celebration now underway.

The field started taking formation on Monday, and by Tuesday there were over five rides set up. The rides included the Merry Mixer, Musical Chairs, the Hampton Umbrella ride, and the Spinner.

A crew from Syracuse worked steadily to set up and test the rides before opening the midway. Main Event Amusements is owned by Kevin Jankiewicz and the crew provides midway entertainment throughout New York State from May until October every year. Jankiewicz has owned the business for five years and this will be his first time providing entertainment in New Berlin.
