Our Why
Every Great Story Has a Beginning.
Ours started with a simple idea from a 14-year-old boy.
In 2010, Zach had one goal: bring joy to people who needed it most.
He organized a community carnival for the guests at the Topeka Rescue Mission, believing that for one day, families facing difficult circumstances deserved to laugh, play, and create happy memories together.
He wasn't starting a business. He was simply serving others.
That single event would unexpectedly shape the future of Carnival Guy. As word spread, people began referring to Zach as "The Carnival Guy." The nickname stuck.
More importantly, so did the mission.
