The Carousel of Happiness will celebrate the life of Tom & Glenna Carline on March 23, 2025
with free carousel rides for all. Carousel hours are 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday, and local residents,
as well as visitors are encouraged to come by for a spin in honor of Tom & Glenna Carline.
Tom and Glenna both grew up in Nevada and were high-school sweethearts. Their love of the
outdoors, and especially the high country, led them to the mountains of Colorado. They formed
a real-estate agency and worked as brokers in the area for over 40 years, including developing
the Sunnyside subdivision and helping to build ‘The Lodge,’ a large wood cabin in Old Town.
Their involvement in the town and community is much more than can be mentioned here, but
their passion for this community’s history was evident, with Glenna serving as a founding
member of the Nederland Area Historical Society. Glenna also served on the Boulder County
Board of Realtors and the Women’s Council of Realtors in Colorado. Tom served on various
boards throughout his time here, including as President of the Nederland Chamber of
Commerce.
We thank them for their years of service to our community, and honor them with free rides on
Tom’s birthday, March 23. We ask that visitors help us keep spinning by donating what they can
to the carousel with a small cash donation.
