Ohio Residents Visit Jane’s Carousel October 27th, 2008 A group of 100 or so residents from Youngstown, Ohio came to Dumbo on Friday morning to visit Jane’s Carousel. Joan Yanchick organized the visit after seeing Jane’s Carousel on CBS News Sunday Morning (video) in July. Jane Walentas, the wife of Dumbo real estate developer David Walentas, purchased the carousel for $384,000 in 1984 and spent 22 years rehabbing each piece. She wants to donate the carousel to the city and hopes to get it placed in the Brooklyn Bridge Park. http://dumbonyc.com/2008/10/27/ohio-residents-visit-janes-carousel/
