Carousel of Smiles announces potential new home

Nonprofit leasing Church Street location

The ponies are on the move. This time, the 36 ponies, studio, and workshop that make up the Carousel of Smiles are headed to what Clay and Reno Hutchinson hope is its final home. The couple announced Wednesday the lease and the option to purchase the former Co-Op Gas & Supply Co. building at 502 Church St. The move, slated for Oct. 1, will see the carousel come together under one roof, joining Marketplace Antiques and the Pie Hut.
