Editor's Column
I hope you have enjoyed reading TH E CAROUSEL TRAD ER as
much as I have enjoyed writing the articles and putting It together . It
is a new adventure for me, and I have learned a lot, and have much
more to learn. My husband, Walt Loucks , is learning to be a photographer so we can have better pictures in up-coming Issues.
Since August , I have traveled to New York, Canada , North
Carolina, Maryland , and Grand Rapids , Michigan in search of stories. I
have met many wonderful people. I can't help but wonder what the
comi ng year has in store.
I have promoted THE CAROUSEL TRADER everywhere I went , and
have distributed well over 2000 copies of the September, October and
November issues . Many have been sent out as " complimentary
copies." Over 150 antique stores have been contacted and are starting
to respond.
Some major changes for 1986 are in the advertising rates . The
25% layout charge has been eliminated , and a 10% discount for
repeat ads has been added. I want to make advertising in THE
CAROUSEL TRADER easy and uncomplicated .
Thank you all for your support and encouraging letters. 1986
should be a great year!
Please do not forget why we really celebrate Christmas. God sent
his only Son to a humble birth in a manger, to live with us, teach us,
then die on the cross , taki ng our sins away. He then rose again as the
living proof of eternal li fe .
JOY TO THE WORLD , THE LORD HAS COME!

The Krasl Art Center is proud
to present four special holiday
shows opening Saturday, November 23 at the 707 Lake Blvd.
center in downtown St. Joseph.
In the main gallery will be
" Magical Horses on Whimsical
Courses," the Krasl 's second
magnificent carousel exhibition.
The salon will feature two
shows : etchings of Arthur Geisert and animal sculptures by
Wi lliam Allen . The small gallery
will house the recent work of the
Berrien Fiber Guild.
The gala recept ion for these
four shops will be Sunday, November 24 from 1 to 4 p.m . Many
speci al
surprises,
including
clowns and freshly popped popcorn , are planned for this opening . Holi day refreshments will be
served by the Friends of the Arts;
the publ ic is welcome to attend.
The main gallery's transformation into the nostalgic world of
the carousel was conceived and
executed by St. Joseph residents
AI and Dagne Schoenbach, owners of the carousel an imals. The
eighteen carved animals will be
positioned around a revolving
platform with eight-foot mirrors
and thousands of magical lights
creating the carousel and
giving the horses an appearance
of " prancing ." Music from a
mighty antique band organ will
flow through the galleries, and a
whimsical ceramic clown will
greet visitors when they enter. A
revolving platform with lights will
feature one of the horses, and
there will also be a "climbaboard " horse so that children
may hop on and " pretend. "
The Krasl 's first carousel show
in 1981 , " Sights and Sounds,
Around and Around ," attracted
thousands of visitors to the
then-new center. The horses in
this year's show are almost all
different, due to the Schoenbachs' ever-expanding collection .
One special horse who is returning , however, is the valuable
" Carmel " from the Silver Beach
carousel , which the Schoenbachs tracked down in 1980 and
carefully preserved . The quest to
" bring home" one of the Silver
Beach horses led the Schoenbachs to Montana, New Mexico,
Oregon and New Jersey. The
Schoenbachs have been collecting for 15 years and have found
horses in antique stores (sometimes in deplorable condition
propped against the outside of
buildings) , at auctions, from
other collectors , and "on-thestreets. "
According to Mrs. Schoenbach , creating carousel horses is
a true art form . Many carvers
have tried to dulpicate this art
with little success . " The original
craftsmen were wood carvers
from Europe, back in the 1890's,"
she related. " Our oldest horse is
100 years old , carved in 1895,
and our youngest was carved 60
years ago in 1920." Carving
horses was replaced by metal
and fiber glass around 1920.
"There were only seven or eight
master carvers ," she continued,
"and ou r goal was to collect one
horse from every master carver
and / or company . We achieved
our goal this year with the
acquisition of a Dentzel carousel
piece."
The Schoenbach collection includes many horses some
natural wood , some professionally restored, others they have
restored , and some are as they
found them. Schoenbach is currently working to restore a zebra
to its original paint. It can take
one year to restore an animal,
and the Schoenbachs always
bring the animals to their natural
state , using dowel rods and pegs
and no nails.

MERRILY GOING AROUND
Cupid
If you have ever wondered
what Santa's deer do when they
are not pulling his sleigh, I th ink
I have found the answer. I
spotted some of them this summer riding carousels. It seems
that they always want to make
children happy. I never did locate
Rudolf, but I'm sure he's out
there somewhere. I found Comet
and Donner in North Carolina,
Cupid in Toronto and Blitzen
flew in from Germany on a Heyn
carousel.
If you want to see them, you
must search diligently, because
there is never more than one on a
carousel. On some carousels,
you won't see them at all, and
don't look for them on Christmas
Eve because they won't be there.
If you want to know where
these deer were hiding, see page
