Remember the thrill of riding a carousel with the horse bobbing up and down, and the sound of the Wurlitzer Band or steam organ (calliope), or maybe catching the brass ring? How did Coney Island go from 25 carousels to just one today? This presentation will take you from the earliest days of carousels until the present and attempt to answer these questions and more. Amateur photographer and avid researcher, Mario Medici will take you on this fascinating journey. Sponsored by The Westfield Foundation.
