The Great Northern Carousel has a fresh coat of paint.
Stark hues of blue, yellow and red trim the building thanks to painters from Dobyns Tech Build and Paint, who are just about finished with the job.
The carousel is the brainchild of Alan Nicholson, developer of the Great Northern Town Center, who has loved carousels ever since childhood.
Opened in 2002, the carousel features 37 animals carved by a renowned Walt Disney World carver and 14 Helena scenic-carved rounding boards and stained-glass artwork.
