Going round again

The Flying Horses in Oak Bluffs began its 134th season over the weekend. At an Easter celebration on Sunday, the festivities included an appearance by the Easter Bunny, arcade games, and a very busy concession stand, while music played and riders of all ages reached out for the brass ring.
