The newest attraction at Riverfront Park provides modern city kids a taste of old-fashioned country fun. Now, in addition to riding the painted ponies on the Looff Carrousel, children have an opportunity to ride the real deal.

Look at them!” she gasped. “Their hair are crazy!”/Cindy Hval, SR. More here.
