The lady smiled when she took our token to ride the carrousel. There were riders of every age there to enjoy.It was a hard decision to pick which animal to ride.... some things never change with age. Choosing a carrousel animal to ride is definately one of them.
One of the pictures shows the real drum used to make some of the sounds that brings the ride to life.
Also this Carrousel has a brass ring. I have heard the story about the brass ring at the carrousel.
This is the first time I had seen one and Norm explained the story behind it.
As you ride the Carrousel there is a brass ring to grasp as you pass it.
If you are so lucky as to grab the brass ring you are rewarded with a free ride after this one is over.
Norm told of a story when his family rode the carrousel. His family were the only ones riding the carrousel. There are five children riding the carrousel.
Each time they rode one of them would grab the brass ring and win a free ride. Norm's parents then purchased a token for the other four children. This went on for quite some time and then his Dad said this is the last ride. The free rides for the day ended but the memory is very clear in Norm's memory and he smiled the whole time he shared it with me.
