Amusement Parks: Hersheypark Carrousel Honored Blooloop

Recently more than 160 members of the National Carousel Association visited Hersheypark during their annual convention.

The group presented Hersheypark with a plaque to honor its dedication in preserving the Hersheypark Carrousel, which was built in 1919 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company and came to the Park in 1945.
