Mid-America Summerfest began in the summer of 1986 running annually for six years until it ended in 1991. Summerest was put on and organized by the Enid A.M. AMBUCS as a fundraiser and a three-day community event. It was originally conceived as a celebration to lift spirits of Northwest Oklahoma residents.

The festival promised to be top-notch entertainment for the whole family. It was a combined effort of the AMBUCS working in cooperation with other local civic clubs and the City of Enid. It took hundreds of volunteers that spent countless hours in preparation for each celebration.

Summerfest was most well known for the hot air balloons but there was a very wide variety of activities. Exhibits and displays included antiques cars, lumberjacks, antique engines & steam show, Skoal Bandit racing car, Kodak Chipmunk aerobatic plane, fireworks, arts & crafts, commercial booths, petting zoo, bands, Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats, Magicians of Taipei, comedy, food, and much, much more.
