In May, 2003, fifty carousel horses were completed and put on view at Myrtle Square Mall's Carousel Court and food court. They remained there until the Sun Fun Festival 2003, when they became a part of the festival parade, then they were displayed at locations throughout the city for the rest of the summer. Businesses, groups and individuals paid $5,000 to sponsor a horse. The sponsors selected the design for each horse from sketches submitted by local artists. At the end of the summer, the fiberglass horses were auctioned off, and the money raised was used to benefit the effort to restore the Rivoli Theater.
