I’m most interested in the carousel.  It is #72, county fair style, built in 1911 as the 72nd by Parker Amusement Abilene KS.  The current complement of carved horses isn’t all the originals but they all date to the early 1900s.   I am doubly excited because they even have a working band organ.   Sadly, they only play it evenings so I miss out on my afternoon ride.  Bummers, watching the instruments and hearing that distinct sound is a big part of the carousel experience.  Still, it was a fun ride and only $0.50.
