Hello Members!


For once I have some good news! OABA, Outdoor Amusement Business Association has a Hall of Fame that honors Icons in our industry. These are people who have made an impact on the industry. We have the honor of having two of our former Presidents all ready in the Hall of Fame Lloyd Hilligoss and Earl "Butch" Butler, this year in Gibtown at the trade show another of our Past Presidents will be awarded this prestigious honor! Our own Sam Johnston! I can think of nobody who is more deserving. Sam has worked diligently to improve our industry in every aspect. He has been involved with many organizations championing our cause to make our lives safer and our industry prosper.

Thank you , Sam from all of us, and a big Congratulations!
