ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - After the site of an iconic carousel that delighted children for more than two decades in St. Augustine became a vacant dirt lot, an effort began online to raise money to replace the attraction.
But a GoFundMe account was created by a St. Augustine resident to raise money for a new carousel.
"Now it's time for us positive, loving, giving people to replace the Carousel with a new Love Carousel!
People coming together to raise money to locate, purchase and re-locate another wonderful, festive, musical, colorful Carousel for children and families and visitors to create beautiful, loving memories again.
As of 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, the GoFundMe, which was started earlier in the day, had raised $365 of its $100,000 goal.
