    Carousel of Progress Sign Change

    It may be rather small news, but the sign outside of Carousel of Progress was changed sometime this past week. While I don't have pictures yet, I can decribe both the new and old. The old sign was a blue gear with white letters saying Carousel of Progress. A perfect picture of it is on the...
