Congratulations to Hadley for correctly guessing the number of books in this cute and mysterious tub...32 books! There were many close guesses, but Hadley guessed it exactly. Thanks to all who participated!
Somewhere in Colorado: Kit Carson County Carousel![]()
In 1927, Elitch’s Gardens ordered a new carousel from the Philadelphia Toboggan Company to replace their original 1905 model. But instead of demolishing the old one, it was sold to an unusual buyer: Kit Carson County, out on the Eastern Plains. Local officials wanted a new feature for their county fairgrounds and got a pretty good deal on it, too, paying only $1,250. Today, the Kit Carson County Carousel is still operational, and even boasts some of its original paint. It has a fully functional 1909 Wurlitzer Organ—one of only three still in existence. At more than 120 years old, it’s one of the oldest amusement park rides in the country and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It opens for a new season on May 23!
