Return Of The Carousel Close

A new generation is close to experiencing the slow, circular joys of riding on the same carousel youths of the Lake City did decades ago. In the four years since it was given back, all 20 of the original horses from the 1922 Spillman carousel have been housed at Coeur d’Alene Honda — separate from the rest of the machine, which is at a storage facility. It could all come together again soon, due in part to the emergence of a benefactor and a commitment from city officials to securing a property lease in the Four Corners area with the Coeur d’Alene Carousel Foundation. “It’s happening any day now,” Cari Fraser, president of the foundation, said of the lease. “And it’s a really excellent area for the carousel”/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press.
