Late this past summer,
Albany was blessed
by the opening of the new
Historic Carousel!!!
For the past several years many of my customers would remark they had just come from, or were on their way, to paint on the animals for the Carousel!!
It was a dream of many,
many people in Albany!
And not only did all the animals need to be carved and painted, a whole new building needed to be built!
And...all the historical mechanisms for the Carousel, that had been used previously many years ago, and were stored in a old building, were shipped out from the East Coast ... they all needed to be rebuilt...and a gentleman in Corvallis donated his time to do all of this.
B U T ...IT HAPPENED!!!!
And...it is FABULOUS!!!
It is so beautiful and bright and light inside!!!
After all...
we live in the Willamette Valley...
and we have lots of grey days!!
Sooo....
a fun, fun place full of lots of
giggles
and
smiles
is just what this town needed!!
Truly, there is a child in all of us that will always love a ride on a Carousel...
Lindsay, Daphne and Avonlea
were loving every sweet minute!!
Such A Happy Place!!
Hope you can come and ride....
