Tio Vivo Mystery of the carousel and Taos legend
The Taos Lions Club rescued Tio Vivo the carousel in 1937 from a Pefiasco corral and invested about 1000 dollars to restore it and build a canopy. Interviews in 1982 reveal a 1918 memory of the flying Jenny in Pefiasco and the piece debuted at the 1939 Fiestas with live music.
