Renovated horses ready to ride lambsfarm greenoaks
For the first time, all 16 of the painstakingly restored Fiberglas carousel horses were hitched and ready to go, enticing riders with gleaming palettes of fresh color.
Hamel a retired advertising executive and do-it-yourselfer did the bulk of the work. Parr, the owner/operator of old Parr's Carousel Animals in Highland Park provided how-to instruction and created small watercolor paintings as road maps from which to work. Lambs Farm is a nonprofit dedicated to helping those with developmental disabilities who live and work on the 51-acre former dairy farm lead productive and happy lives.
"About half the time of the 60 hours of restoration was getting the old paint off," Hamel said. That involved a lot of sanding. But it was worth the time to see the twinkle in the eyes of those who learned what he was doing, Hamel said.
