Carousel's 'ponies' closing in on home of their own

Sandpoint’s “ponies” may be close to having a home of their own. With the help and work of the community, Reno and Clay Hutchinson told the Sandpoint City Council that their Carousel of Smiles has made significant progress over the past few years and could be completed in a few years. “Carousels are magic and have a power that brings people together,” Reno Hutchinson told the council of why she and her husband have worked to restore the golden age carousel with their team of volunteers.
