We visited the Kit Carson Country Carousel, also known as Philadephia Toboggan Company Corousal # 6. In fact it has several names. Its located in the County Fairgrounds.
There are many buidings that are used when the fair is in full swing.
They also have a good sense of humour and this sign located on the building.
The Carousel is housed in a large building and on this day there were workers touching up the painting of the wooden carousel.
This Carousel is a tree - row, stationary ( the animals do not move up and down) machine housed in a 12- sided frame building. It is the only antique carousel in America still having the original paint on scenery panels and on animals.
PTC # 6 is the only surviving menagerie (having other animals in addition to horses) and is fully operational.
It is on the National Historic Register and is truly magnificant.
Cheers,
Ross and Beverley
