Dates and New Carnival Ride Operator Announced for 58th Conejo Valley Days

The 58th annual Conejo Valley Days (CVD) is being held May 8 through 11 at Conejo Creek Park South (Janss Rd./23 Freeway) in Thousand Oaks. The festival will take place a week later than in previous years.

 

            “We had the opportunity to secure the services of Ray Cammack Shows as our new carnival and midway operator,” says Frank Akrey, CVD president. “Cammack Shows is considered one of the premiere carnival ride operators in the country and it’s bringing its biggest and best carnival rides to CVD. The soonest it could get to Thousand Oaks and set up was after our traditional dates. Fortunately, we were able to open a week later.”
