 That's certainly high praise for it. Will try to visit it in the near 
future. We went to see the carousel at Hershey Park a few weeks ago but I 
find myself growing partial to the Denzel's.

 That's really a shame. The old, wooden horses were a true art form and have 
a wonderful and colorful history. Reading about the individual carvers and 
styles is fascinating...I've started collecting books on the subject and 
spend many hours riding our 90 year old Denzel here in town.
