  • 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.

     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.
