Carousel of Light 4th of July Decorated Bike Jamboree!
|
Our Carousel Of Light Bike Jamboree was an incredible success this morning! Despite a little drizzle, nothing could dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic riders who took to the Mullen Hall School green with their beautifully decorated bikes, scooters, and wagons.
We want to extend heartfelt thanks to the Falmouth Rotary Club for their incredible generosity. Their support was evident as they presented $150 gift cards to the best-decorated bikes. Their generosity truly made a difference! But that's not all! The Falmouth Elks Lodge #2380 went above and beyond by giving away over 25 brand-new bicycles to the lucky winners of our raffle. The smiles on their faces were contagious, and the event was filled with a strong sense of patriotism. The Carousel Of Light itself contributed to the joyous atmosphere by providing free rides to all the kids. The laughter and excitement were infectious, and it warmed our hearts to see the children's happiness. A special shoutout goes to the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office, who generously distributed lots of goodies for the kids. Their participation added an extra touch of fun and made the day even more memorable. Finally, the support of the Falmouth Village Association was most helpful in promoting the event. We were honored to have some distinguished guests in attendance. Sheriff Donna Buckley, who is also a member of the Carousel of Light's board of directors, and the Chair of the Falmouth Select Board, Nancy Taylor, joined us to celebrate this joyous occasion. Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic day for the town of Falmouth with over 150 kids and their families participating. We are grateful to everyone who contributed their time, resources, and enthusiasm to make this event such a resounding success. Together, we created lasting memories and a true sense of community. Let's keep the spirit of the Carousel Of Light for years to come! |

A beloved fixture of Falmouth Village, the carousel has delighted local residents and visitors to Falmouth since 2013. One of the few remaining carousels of its kind in the United States, kids and adults alike flock to this Cape Cod institution every summer. Brightly colored hand-carved horses spin around the cheery red and white striped top. Joyous music fills the air as the horses go 'round. Take a ride on Patriot, Butterscotch or everyone's favorite, Pearl.
Join the more than 150,000 riders over the last nine years and make a merry-go-round memory this summer, too!

You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around--and why his parents will always wave back." --William D. Tammeus, Pulitzer Prize Journalist.
