Historic Restored Carousel






On Monday I decided to visit the Como Park Conservatory to see the newly installed spring flowers in the Sunken Garden.  Since kids are in school, the park was not as crowded as usual so I easily found a parking spot.  It was right next to the Cafesjian Carousel, which was lucky for me because it was running even though there were few wee customers.  I stopped to enjoy this beautiful attraction and the small children enjoying it with their parents.

    These things are so much fun. Heck, I still enjoy riding one but haven't in many years. Love the shot of the dad and his kids!

    It was well worth the restoration. The only carousel I can think of offhand (permanent, anyway), is in a city a four hour drive away along their waterfront.

    Use to take my daughter to the coast in Oregon and she use to ride the carousel. Good memories! Nice photo of the family enjoying their ride.

    Kate, I'm so glad you posted this! Not sure whether you know of my 28-year involvement with it.
