Object History: Carousel horse. Part of the C.W. Parker Carousel on display at the Burnaby Village Museum, sponsored by Dorothy E. Wrigley and Cice Brown. Dorothy Wrigley explains "The arrival of our first grandchild was a joyful occasion for the Wrigley family but it was some time before the tiny baby girl received her name, Saralyn. In the meantime, she was referred to with much love as the little Guppy." (Dorothy Wrigley decided to sponsor a horse to commemorate the birth of her grandchild, and fellow-volunteer Cice Brown asked to be a co-sponsor for her grandchildren too.) "When I was thinking about sponsoring a horse to commemorate the birth of our granddaughter, Cice Brown expressed the wish to co-sponsor a horse for her several grandchildren and a wonderful idea sprang to mind...we decided to jointly sponsor this gentle "stargazer" and name it guppy for the joy of all grandchildren." "Prior to the miracle of birth, we are all like little 'guppies,' small fishes swimming around, growing and waiting to enter the merry-go-round of this complex world. Each one of us is someone's grandchild...may many guppies experience the joy of riding this carousel."
