Jane’s Carousel hosts its 1,000th birthday party
Nearly a Century Old, Jane Walentas’ Labor of Love Continues to Bring Joy to Families
Jane’s Carousel played host to its 1,000th birthday party on Sunday Opening in 2011, the landmark of the revamped park celebrated the feat in just over half a decade.
This day’s guest of honor, Maxim Jafri, was the epitome of dapper in his white oxford shirt with a Winnie the Pooh emblem and three-quarter camo fatigue trousers. His fine black hair was parted neatly on the left, and his dark brown eyes missed nothing as he watched mom, Samantha Wolner; dad, Rab Jafri; and grandmother, Farah Jafri hustle about the balloon-decorated picnic tables shoring up last-minute preparations for what would soon be the debonair toddler’s 1st birthday party.
“We wanted his 1st to be someplace special, someplace historic,” Wolner explained as she tacked up the last of the balloons. “We’d never been here before.”
