The preliminary list of events for COAA, the Carousel Organ Association
of America, for 2011 which appeared in the COAA Magazine, The Carousel
Organ, had an incorrect date for Olcott Beach, and I have been notified
of an additional rally. The updated list follows:

Bopp, phone 918-527-0589. This is a "members only" event with visits
to museums and private collections, but anyone may become a COAA member.

Most rally events are open to the general public, but registered
participants often receive "fringe benefits" such as a picnic supper,
park admission, and/or ride tickets. Non-members can register for
rallies.
Details, including registration forms, will appear on http://www.coaa.us/
when available, contact the rally host for more information regarding
a rally.
