CAROUSEL

The Carousel

Wilmore, KS | Comanche County

Just honk! When Ernie and Christy Griffin are home (usually April-June and October-December), they will come out at the sound of your horn and start those horses running! Ernie always wanted a carousel and found this beauty online. It was made in 2002 in Venice, Italy, and was in shopping malls in Minnesota and Texas before making its way to Kansas. Locals helped build a bright yellow-and-red gazebo to protect the ride, then helped put together the spinning teacup, sleigh, and 13 horses on the carousel itself. Rides are free!
