    • Try your luck at catching the brass ring and winning a free ride on the oldest working carousel in the U.S., which has been enchanting children and adults for over a hundred years. The 20 hand-carved horses on this official historic landmark have real horsehair manes and tails.

     What a brilliant page on Martha's Vineyard. The sales look like fun and the Gingerbread House looks just gorgeous!! Very helpful tips too!    		Pawtuxet Sun Oct 14, 2007 12:59 UTC
     Missed the Illuminations this year. sigh. Just can't be everywhere all at the same time. Late season shopping trip looks like a fun idea.
