IS this a rally? If it is I can't see the organs.

@anglerfly No, this wasn't during a rally, but there was one there in 2008, and there will probably be another at some point.

The gift shop sold great stuff! I once met the guy whos father put the rides here a long time ago. IN the gift shop you find all kinds of pictures of what the carousel originaly looked like and a video of the carousel and band organ.
