Title:

Newport Carousel Closes

Description:

There are a number of carousels around the nation that are over a hundred years old and unfortunately for the residents and visitors to Newport, the carousel at the Balboa Fun Zone will soon be closing and the painted ponies will no longer carry excited children around in a circle. Before the carousel's last days a group of senior citizens were taken on the carousel for a last memory of the old park favorite and it was said that the participants in the carousel's last ride had an accumulated number of over four hundred years worth of memories of the place.
