Coming up on Wednesday, January 10th at noon.
The Albany Regional Museum will host the founder of the Albany Carousel and co-author of “The Miracle on First Avenue” Wendy Kirbey as she shares the story of one woman’s dream becoming reality.

The book also highlights the unique stories of the carousel animals, and the inspiration behind each carving.
