W4 News - Bushnell Park Carousel Turns 100 - 7/26/2014
The Bushnell Park Carousel Turns 100 Years Old
The New England Carousel Museum –
The Bushnell Park Carousel, located in downtown Hartford, is turning 100 years old this year. In celebration of this milestone the City of Hartford is giving the Carousel a wonderful gift by adding heat to the pavilion, new restrooms and a multi-function room to the operation, allowing the Carousel to be available year-round.
“Hartford is proud to be the home of one of three remaining wooden carousels created by Solomon Stein and Harry Goldstein in the early 1900′s. We invite you to join us for our 100th celebration in July and again in November for our grand reopening,” said Mayor Segarra.
Construction is scheduled to begin on April 15 and the City will pause construction to open in time for the 100th Birthday celebration scheduled for Saturday, July 26, 2014 from 11 am to 9 pm. In addition, the New England Carousel Museum Restoration Department has been working around the clock to fully restore the Carousel in time for her birthday. Artists have been doing wood repair, painting and gold leafing to bring the Carousel pieces back to their original beauty.
“The Bushnell Park Carousel is a treasure in downtown Hartford. It is one of less than 200 antique wooden carousels that remain in operation in the U.S. – down from thousands at the turn-of-the-century,” explains Louise DeMars, Executive Director of the New England Carousel Museum of Bristol, which manages the carousel for the City of Hartford. “This year, as we achieve our ‘Countdown to 100′ Celebration, we anticipate a major public response to the Carousel’s 100th birthday in July.”
The Bushnell Park Carousel was created in 1914 by Solomon Stein and Harry Goldstein, owners of the Artistic Carousel Company of Brooklyn, New York,” says Ms. DeMars. “It is one of only three Stein & Goldstein carousels left in operation in the U.S. that still provides rides for the public.” The carousel features 36 jumper horses (going up and down), 12 standers (stationary horses), two chariots, and a Wurlitzer 153 band organ. It operated outside of Albany, New York until 1940 when it moved to Meyers Lake Amusement Park in Canton, Ohio, where it gave hundreds of thousands of rides to children of all ages. In 1974, Hartford’s Knox Foundation brought the carousel to Hartford as part of the revitalization of the downtown area.”
“Stein and Goldstein carved in the Coney Island Style of carving that is decorative and expressive. They made big animals with their ears pinned back, their eyes wide, their nostrils flared, and some even have their tongues hanging out showing you how hard they are working to give you a good ride. Magnificent carving and extraordinary workmanship went into the creation of these animals. Here they are 100 years later and they are still splendid,” Ms. DeMars said.
“Historic carousels like our Bushnell Park Carousel are an endangered species, notes Ms. DeMars. “We want to encourage people to come enjoy this treasure and learn about its unique history and art. Consider sending the Carousel a 100th Birthday gift to help keep her operating. If people begin caring and supporting Hartford’s carousel today, then it can be still be around for their great-grandchildren to enjoy in the future.”
Once reopened, The Bushnell Park Carousel will be available for birthday parties held during public hours in the “Carouselabration Station” areas. The Carousel is available to rent for receptions, weddings and special events. It is also available for photo opportunities, Carousel lovers may join the Friends of the Bushnell Park Carousel, the New England Carousel Museum, or a combined membership, which provides unlimited visits to both facilities. Taking a membership, taking a ride or buying a bag of popcorn all help to support the Carousel.
A Carousel Construction Watch will be added to our website allowing our friends and supporters to follow the progress and share their thoughts. The Bushnell Park’s Carousel’s $1-per-ride goes to fund general operations and ongoing refurbishing of the horses and the pavilion itself. The City of Hartford also contributes to the general operation of the Carousel. When reopened, the Bushnell Park Carousel hours will be: Tuesday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is inside an enclosed pavilion, and closes only during severe weather. For more information about the Bushnell Park Carousel or the New England Carousel Museum, or to donate to help the Carousel’s restoration process, including the Adopt-A-Horse campaign, call (860) 585-5411. thecarouselmuseum.org.

Bristol CT-Built Top Credit-Better Qualified-Find out about-Too Much Debt
Bristol, also known as Clock City, Mum City, Bell City, coextensive with the town (township) of Bristol, Hartford county, central Connecticut, U.S., on the Pequabuck River. The area, part of Farmington or Tunxis Plantation, was settled in 1727 and became known as New Cambridge. Renamed for Bristol, England, it was organized as a town in 1785. Bristol borough (incorporated 1893) was chartered as a city and consolidated with the town in 1911. During the American Revolution Bristol was the centre of considerable Tory activity, and a cave on Chippens Hill was called the “Tory’s Den.” Bristol became known for clock making (begun 1790 by Gideon Roberts), and the American Clock and Watch Museum is located there. The city is also the home of the New England Carousel Museum, the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN), and Lake Compounce (opened 1846), the oldest continuously operated amusement park in the United States. Industries produce precision springs, ball bearings, and electronic products. Bristol includes Forestville, a manufacturing village. Pop. (2000) 60,062; (2010) 60,477.

The full set of credits is listed here .
Consumer Credit is the ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that payment will be made in the future. Credit score is an important part in building and managing consumer credit. Credit score represents the creditworthiness of an individual. Better Qualified has teamed up with the affiliates to help the clients build credit through secured credit cards. Secured credit cards require that the clients put a down payment as collateral, so that they can build their credit risk free. Better Qualified helps the clients Build, Manage, and Monitor their credit. The Finance and Insurance sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in financial transactions (transactions involving the creation, liquidation, or change in ownership of financial assets) and/or in facilitating financial transactions. Three principal types of activities are identified: 1. Raising funds by taking deposits and/or issuing securities and, in the process, incurring liabilities. Establishments engaged in this activity use raised funds to acquire financial assets by making loans and/or purchasing securities. Putting themselves at risk, they channel funds from lenders to borrowers and transform or repackage the funds with respect to maturity, scale, and risk. Almost all Americans come across the problem of bad credit score. Steve, the author of the video, gives several useful suggestions to resolve this problem. First of all, one should look at the turning factors when it comes to scoring his credit. Payment history is the most important one. 35% of FICO score is based on payment history, so if you pay on time, your score will never be dropped on hundred points. Next, one should pay attention on the Amounts Owed, which takes 30% of FICO score. The rule №1 – don't keep “max out credit cards”. If it happens, try to pay these accounts down.
