The Carousel Organ Association of America is holding a band organ rally
in North Tonawanda, New York, Friday and Saturday, August 27th & 28th.
The rally will be held in Sweeney Park, a few blocks from the Herschell
Carrousel Factory Museum.  I believe the hours are about 9 - 5 Friday
and 10 - 6 Saturday.  Among the band organs in attendance will be a
Stinson model 187 concert band organ coming all the way from Texas.

The National Carousel Association convention will visit the carousels
in nearby Rochester on Friday, then come out to the museum and rally on
Saturday.

The Carousel Modelers & Miniatures Association also has its convention
at the Herschell Museum, and will display its miniature carousels on
Saturday and Sunday the 28th & 29th.

So there's a lot going on in North Tonawanda Aug. 27th - 29th. Come on
out; it should be a great weekend!
