Even though it might not feel like Christmas outside, it will be here before we know it. Christmas traditions abound throughout the City of Valley!
Even though it might not feel like Christmas outside, it will be here before we know it. And that means that the Christmas Merry-Go-Round will be back for its 58th year. Fifty-eight years is a long time to keep a tradition going, but that’s how long the Christmas Merry-Go-Round has been bringing joy to riders, both children and young-at-heart adults. In 2012, the Christmas Merry-Go-Round celebrated its 2,500,000 rider!
In 2007, the City of Valley took on the responsibility for bringing the Merry-Go-Round to the Greater Valley area. City of Valley employees operate the Merry-Go-Round and the City has taken on the obligation of leasing it but we have not been able to do this alone. Through the years, we have had the generous support of local and non-local groups, individuals, and businesses. Together we have been able to continue this wonderful Christmas tradition.
