Parker carousel from Jantzen Beach into a new public attraction such as along the waterfront, downtown or in urban park setting. Carter is pictured with one of the horses from the 1921 carousel, which was disassembled and stored away in 2012 when the Janzen Beach Mall was torn down and redeveloped. Before that it delighted families for generations at the former Jantzen Beach Amusement Park.
