## Resource

Once a vibrant, whimsical centerpiece of Nashville’s riverfront, Red Grooms’ Tennessee Fox Trot Carousel—featuring wild figures like Chet Atkins on a guitar and Davy Crockett wrestling a bear—is finally getting a second chance. After being dismantled and stored for over two decades at the Tennessee State Museum, the carousel is now the focus of a major restoration push, fueled by renewed public interest and the artist’s confidence in its condition. With funding hurdles, logistical challenges, and past setbacks like a tornado and the pandemic, the museum is calling for partners to bring this interactive art piece back to life—either as a pristine museum exhibit or as a working ride. Fans are eager to see those colorful, quirky figures spin again, turning nostalgia into joyful, hands-on art. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
