Wending my way through the town, I overhear snatches of conversation and see delightful sights (such as a mechanical horse that resembled a merry-go-round ride, which sadly cannot be ridden, as well as a Disney-like parade).
But the use of live ponies in a merry-go-round-style carousel, a traditional ride from the beginning of the 20th Century, is one of the less charming historical features, drawing criticism from those who see using live animals as out-dated and cruel.
