Crystal Lake Carousel and Lincoln Day Dinner
I think I found the Chrystal Lake Carousel.
There was a discussion on St. Johns Facebook site and I started hunting around to see where it went after AutoWorld.

Does the US government have the power to tell state and local governments to enforce the latest federal laws emanating from Washington?
An individual who led the way in questioning that power of the Federal government was former sheriff Richard Mack, of Graham County, Arizona. In the mid-1990’s, Graham County Sheriff Mack felt that it was not required of county sheriffs to enforce certain provisions of the federal Brady Bill gun control legislation.
In the end the Supreme Court agreed with him and ruled in Mack’s favor. Writing for the majority, Justice Antonin Scalia stated “The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivisions, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program.” The landmark ruling was an acknowledgement of state’s rights, and the power of the county sheriff.
Richard Mack will be speaking on the evening of April 11th at the Lincoln Day Dinner, held at the Eagle Eye Golf Club, 15101 Chandler Rd., East Lansing, and on the evening of April 12th at the Wilson Center, 101 W. Cass St., St. Johns, hosted by the Clinton County Tea Party.
