New Jersey resident Sheila Steuck, formerly of Rich Hill, read that the Appleton City Carousel had visitors from 35 states but none from New Jersey- so while visiting the area she stopped by to check out the unique ride and took the opportunity to visit with Linda Lampkin who gleefully then upped the state visitor count to 36.
The carousel has gained famed through rave reviews penned by Visit Missouri, Rural Magazine, Missouri Life and many others over the years.
Many thanks to Sheila for helping put the spotlight once again on this very unique and popular attraction.
