THE BRASS RING!
Unless you happen to be at an
amusement park you missed a big
celebration on Sunday. July 25th
as the anniversary of the day in
1871 when William Schneider of
Davenport, Iowa obtained the first
American patent for the Carousel!
Of course carousels or merry-go-
rounds date back much earlier than
that. But July 25th was the date the
popular amusement ride officially
came to the USA. The idea actually
dates back to the days of knights
who used to practice jousting on
horseback by trying to run the tip of
their lance through a small ring. That's
when the concept of the brass ring comes
from on the carousel! Hope you'll join
the celebration as soon as you can! Take
a spin and enjoy the ride! Hope all your
NEWS is good!
