Around
Dizzy shot of the Riverfront Carousel in Salem, Oregon. Same carousel that this horse is on. The blue fish thing in the lower left corner holds a ring that the kids can try to reach out and grab. Winners get a free carousel ride. Losers--the kids who fall off trying to grab the ring--get a free lawsuit filing. Labels: Miscellaneous
