17th Annual Cruise to the Carousel

The August 27, 2017 Cruise to the Carousel has rolled on through!  Once again, the Rollin’ Relics Car Club put on a great event.  Cruise to the Carousel is the main fundraising event for the not-for-profit Heritage Carousel and we would not be able to keep goin’ round without the support of generous organizations like the Rollin’ Relcis!

There were nearly 180 cars entered in the show, tons of prizes to win, great food, and lots of friends and laughter!  The Rollin’ Relics sponsored free rides at the Carousel and we had over 900 Carousel riders throughout the day. The awards were presented in the afternoon and the winner of the Carousel Choice Award was Bob Miller’s 1965 GTO.  This car, like the Carousel, is a serious piece of machinery with a lot of whimsy!  The tiger on top looks just like our Carousel Tiger, Trixie.  Congratulations, Bob, and we hope to see you and everyone else back next year.

Thanks for your continued support and we will see you at the Carousel!
