## Caption

Tracy Shedd has seen a lot of the Iowa State Fair’s Sky Glider, from helping to build the main line 50 years ago to free rides for celebrity riders and cash raining down on the crowds below.

Shedd and his crew handle the maintenance and other work it takes to keep the ride going for the 120,000 to 130,000 people he estimated ride the main line, Sky Glider East, every year for the 1,225 feet from Pioneer Hall to the entrance of Thrill Ville.

Shedd, 64, of Pleasant Hill, said he helped install the main line of the Sky Glider 50 years ago and has been working on it ever since.
