By DONALD WITTKOWSKI<\/em><\/p>\n Alice is getting the star treatment at the Sea Isle City Historical Museum.<\/p>\n The beautifully hand-carved carousel horse, named \u201cAlice,\u201d survived the colossal 1962 Ash Wednesday coastal storm and remained under the care of Ann Bacon and her family for 60 years before it was donated to the museum in October.<\/p>\n Now, the museum is planning a formal welcome home ceremony for the horse as part of its annual holiday open house celebration on Saturday, Dec. 3.<\/p>\n \u201cThis year\u2019s annual holiday celebration will also be the event that officially welcomes Alice, our carousel star, back home,\u201d said the museum\u2019s president, Ron Kovatis.<\/p>\n Visitors to the museum will be treated to complimentary refreshments and free tours during the open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The festivities will be highlighted by an official unveiling ceremony at noon to celebrate the carousel horse being put on permanent display.<\/p>\n Mayor Leonard Desiderio and members of City Council are among the dignitaries who have been invited to the ceremony. Members of the public will also be welcomed.<\/p>\n The open house traditionally serves as an old-fashioned holiday celebration that gives visitors the opportunity to experience vintage toys, games, books and other artifacts from Christmases of the past. However, the museum canceled the open house in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s open house will be a dual celebration of the holidays as well as Alice\u2019s return to Sea Isle 60 years later, Kovatis said.<\/p>\n
