When was the last time you saw a butterfly up close and personal or rode a carousel? If it’s been too long, or never, then now is the perfect time! We will leave at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, April 9 for the Butterfly House at Faust Park. Admission is $5; it is $2 to ride the historic carousel, for anyone who desires. The St. Louis Carousel is an original 1920s carousel installed at the St. Louis Highlands Amusement Park in 1929. After a fire in 1963 destroyed the park, the carousel was moved to Sylvan Springs Park and operated there until 1979. The St. Louis County Historic Buildings Commission and the Faust Park Foundation raised funds to restore the carousel and bring it to Faust Park. This is a chance to relive your childhood, as I’m sure some of us rode this exact carousel at the Highlands! We will have lunch afterwards at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Chesterfield. Invite your neighbors and friends!
Please sign up for the trip to Casey, IL by April 1; we will then be able to determine a cost per person. This is an overnight trip to see Casey’s attempts to earn themselves a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the biggest…fill in the blank. It will be a fun and leisurely trip and beautiful weather has been ordered!
As always, sign up sheets are at the Info Center, near the Media Center.
