Fiesta Shows’ Gene Dean Going Into NEAAPA Hall of Fame
Gene Dean, owner of Fiesta Shows/Dean Enterprises, Seabrook, N.H., will be inducted into the NEAAPA Hall of Fame on Tuesday, March 19.

The ceremony will take place during NEAAPA’s 106th Anniversary Education Conference & Annual Meeting at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel.

“It’s a nice honor after all of these years in the amusement business,” Gene said of the accolade.

With more than a half-century in the industry, Gene got his start at Salisbury Beach, Mass., where the family once operated 38 games and a few rides at the seaside resort community.
