Sarah Anthony was on a whirl wind tour last week dropping off donations from the J. Walton Bissell Foundation. She shared a memory about the The Bushnell Park Carousel that had me thinking, there must be thousands of carousel stories just like this. What a special place. I'd love to hear more of them. We're thankful to the Bissell Foundation for helping us keep the park beautiful and the horses running. #parklife (fb)
