This is CBS, I On the World. I'm John Batchel. Bedford County, Pennsylvania, and a gingerbread carousel.

I welcome Selena Zito of the Washington Examiner in the Wall Street Journal who takes me to Bedford County for the second time.

I recall in the spring summer of one year previous. We talked about this enormous construction

called the Bedford Inn or the Bedford Hotel

and that it dated to Thomas Jefferson's time.

But now she's introduced me to something inside the Bedford phenomenon,

which is a gingerbread carousel.

At first, Salina, a very good day to you.

I didn't think this could be done, but you recounted the amount of flour and chocolate.

How long it's been going on and who could eat a carousel?

Good evening.

Good evening.

Thank you so much.

And yes, you're correct.

Bedford Springs Hotel dates back to men like Aaron Burr and Benjamin Franklin all staying at the end.

In fact, every sitting president has stayed at the Bedford Springs resort with the exception of Barack Obama. It's a beautiful, beautiful

resort nestled in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania. And it does this

annual gingerbread creation. Sometimes it's a village, sometimes it's more like a diorama, other times it's life

size, and this is one of the times that it is life-sized.

And it is a, I mean, you walk in and you think you can go on the carousel, the amount of work.

It took months to build flour, ginger, sugar, white chocolate.

Almost everything is completely edible.
