Richland Carrousel

Jasper's Grandma took him to ride on the Richland Carrousel, which is always a treat!  This carousel looks like it must be quite old and well preserved, but in fact it was hand made in the style of the Dentzel carousels and was opened in 1991.  This was the first time since the 1930s that a carousel had been hand built, and they called on many talented local artists for assistance. The upper panels have some lovely scenes painted on them of all the area's major attractions.   (A similar project is under way right now in Albany, OR, and visitors are welcome to come see the carousel take shape.)
