I've never ridden on a French-built carousel. Although they are used for entertainment now, I enjoyed learning that it was not always so, and that the knights of old learned their skills by them.

It is a French one that has been lovingly restored, with an old-fashioned musical organ. (You may guess who was the oldest person on it! ;) But there were no brass rings that I could see! Next year I will be sure to look carefully...Carol Townendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272578445125707881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-79313183241183335012010-01-12T12:31:57.659-05:002010-01-12T12:31:57.659-05:00I love carousels, but I'd never heard of the b...I love carousels, but I'd never heard of the brass ring before.

I never got it! I was only 7 and my older sister, with longer arms and more courage would always get it. And she got a FREE ride! Great memories!!Charlene Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790830556654967859noreply@blogger.com
