One of the few authentic, wooden merry-go-rounds left in Wisconsin. Built out East in the 1920s by the Allen Herchel Co., all the animals were wooden pegged and fashioned without nails. Sam Costas bought it from the Jack Vomberg Carnival in 1946, and after three years of renovation used it at his outdoor theater. In the early 1950s Donald Duck was added. Costas moved the carousel to Sam's Beer Hut in 1955 where it gave 180,000 rides the first year. It used light bulbs rather than neon and is still operated by a simple clutch mechanism and two gears.
