HISTORY On July 22, 1981, Bob Ketterling of Faulkton purchased a
Charles W. Parker Carousel at an auction Edgemont, S.D. In August of 1981, he began giving free rides to all and planned "the Happy Times Park" around the carousel. He died in 1988 and Faulkton was named the "Carousel City" in his memory. In 1990 the City purchased the Carousel from his widow.
