McGraw Sues All American Rides And Owner

{West Virginia}...An August 23rd motion hearing is set after West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw filed a suit earlier this week against All American Rides and Shows and its owner Tony Best, for failing to provide carnival rides to the Wayne County fair. Best entered a contract with the Wayne County Fair Board in March where he would provide 10 carnival rides and a cotton candy trailer for a price of $15,000. After accepting an up-front payment of $5,000, Best failed to provide the promised services. McGraw is seeking an injunction to keep the business from engaging in fraudulent activity again in the state, a freeze on its bank account and restitution. McGraw claims the company failed to obtain necessary permits from the West Virginia Division of Labor, proof of insurance or a business registration certificate.
