A CAROUSEL MENAGERIE
First Day of Issue: October 1, 1988
First Issue Location: Sandusky, Ohio
The thought of a carnival evokes happy carnival sounds:
children laughing, game hosts urging customers on,
craftsmen selling their wares. And there, in the midst of it
carousel. Spinning in a maze of fantastic creatures, each
seeming to leap up and then methodically lapse down, the
carousel bears a magic all its own. Children's eyes shine,
for this is truly a ride; a ride as beautiful and exciting as
their own imaginations can make it. Choosing the most
wonderful mount they can find, the children prepare for
the ride. And, as the music starts, they turn slowly. Then,
faster and faster they ride. Some imagine themselves
medieval knights, while others are Arabian horsemen.
Still others are raucous western cowboys. No matter, the
magic of the carousel captures their hearts and holds them
fully entranced. The carousel is indeed a magnificent,
magical ride, bringing a special kind of laughter and joy to
many children's lives.
