" In the Good Old Summertime" event ~ July 4 & 5, 2015
The Carousel of Light experienced a spectacular Fourth of July weekend. Sunny skies and cool breezes made the crowds on Saturday patient while waiting for a ride and then a second and third ride. On Sunday, our “Good Ol' Summertime” event was well attended and we thank our many volunteers.
The Falmouth Commodores Michael and Steven were a big hit with the kids and parents as well. Their summer intern Brittany kept things moving well.
Our free ice cream stand, compliments of Pies a la Mode Cafe, dished out the flavor cotton candy.
Another big winner, Al Moniz/Mr. Suspenders kept the groups clapping and in awe and even included the children in his juggling act.
Our lawn games of hole in one-or-two, balloon toss, tug -o-war-and-peace, Frisbee throw and three-legged races were very popular and the volunteers from the YMCA North Falmouth program were fun and helpful. Prizes from the First Citizens' Federal Credit Union brought glee to the eyes of the children.
Carousel board members Jim Bowen, Joanne Treistman and Stanton Terrell were there at 9 a.m. to get everything ready with our manager Beth Juaire and assistant Susan Lefcourt.

Everyone Loves a Carousel!
We have hosted many groups this summer. One of the happiest groups were the residents at Atria Woodbriar. Some of these guests were in their 90's and had as much enthusiasm and vigor as any child. Special thanks to Melissa Bielinski, the Engage Life Director who brought Gina, Carol Mary, Myrtice, Mary and other lovely ladies to enjoy the Carousel of Light.

The carousel arrives from California- March 2013
On a cold morning in March, two semi tractor trailers arrived from a long trek across country to carry the carousel back home to Falmouth. Several hardy volunteers helped unload the animals. Hats off to Wood Lumber for the use of it's forklift to unload the eight ton mechanism from the trucks.
The horses are now stored in Lance's studio where he will lovingly refurbish them one at a time.
