  The Man Who Saves Carousel Horses from the Glue Factory
  By Ariana Michelle Igneri,  June 8, 2016
    Traditional, hand-carved carousels are disappearing across
  the United States.  Bob Yorburg, New York's last carousel carver,
  is hoping to change that.

Take a look at the video on Ariana's website here:

    In an age of 100-mph roller coasters and high-tech amusement parks,
  one master craftsman carries the torch -- 'round and 'round -- for
  a dying breed of carousel carvers.
