I want to know what State Fairs are using Sky Lifts (a chair lift) and
who the owners and operators of these sky lifts are.

mrsnow-ga,

A few questions, if I may:

1.  Can you give us a bit of a description of the Sky Lifts?  What
sort of device are they?  Is it a fair ride, or something used for
contruction/assembly?

2.  Is "Sky Lifts" the tradename for these things, or a name commonly
used by fair folks?  I do not see much reference to this term in the
context of state fairs.

3.  Anything else you could tell us about your interest here would be
helpful in researching your question.

Thanks,

pafalafa-ga

Sky Lifts are ski lifts that have been put in State Fair venues; they
run slower (about 200 feet per min) and are installed on a permanent
basis.  They may or may not be run by the individual that is the
operator of the midway.  Here are some that I know of--SC State Fair
(I want to know who ownes/operates  this one) Ga. National Fair (I
know who owns/operates this one)
Florida State Fair (I want to know who operates this) Kansas State
Fair (I want to know this one) the Mississippi State Fair (I want to
know whis one) the West Palm Beach Fair (I want to know this one)
there is also a company calle Sky Fair out of Contoocook, NH that
operates 12 or so installations (I want to know where)---They are
sometimes called "Sky Lifts" but are chair lifts from ski areas that
have been reworked and reinstalled at fair venues--I want to get into
the business of providing rides of this type and it would be helpful
to know where the New Hampshire people have lifts; I also need to know
the ownership of the ones that I spoke about--this is the most
important part of the question--good luck

greetings .. are you still looking for an answer to your question?

Yes I am--
