HOLZMAN RETURNS ON 10TH

Empire Carousel Carver Tells

How Small Effort Grew Large

Gerry Holzman tells how the Empire State Carousel started as one man's idea – his – but before the 20-year project was complete, more than 1,000 carvers, quilters and painters had participated in its creation. Holzman was at The Farmers' Museum today at a ceremony marking the carousel's 10th anniversary in Cooperstown. Rides on the carousel are free today and Sunday, and Holzman will be giving tours at 11 a.m. and 1, 2, 3 and 4 p.m. tomorrow. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
