It turns out that some of the most piercing shrieks at MontanaFair this year might not be coming from the thrill rides on the midway, but an alligator show.

From deep in the swamps of Florida to the midway at MontanaFair comes the "Kachunga and the Alligator" show, according to Ray Massie, sales and marketing director for MontanaFair. While alligators are clearly not native to Montana, the show is designed as a public awareness campaign and to help students learn about different creatures.

"We are excited to have the show at MontanaFair this year," said Bill Dutcher, MontanaFair General Manager in a news release. "The show creates a lot of excitement." The Detroit News called the show, "the No. 1 reason to visit the Michigan State Fair."

Kachunga is a real American Bushman who steps into the wet domain of the alligator daily. Kachunga grabs this ferocious man-eating alligator with his bare hands. This will be your chance to see a real gator up close, Massie said. And its all included with your gate admission or ValuPass. The show will be at Montana Park near Kids World at MontanaFair.

Kachunga and the Alligator is educational, funny, and safe to view. The alligators are treated with respect and not harmed in any way. The show is presented at MontanaFair by Wildlife Entertainment and Education.
