The 1909 Looff carousel in Spokane, Washington will be
celebrating its 100th birthday on July 18, and has been
chosen as this month's Carousel
of the Month.
A celebration at the carousel on July 18 will include
special guests Ray Simmons of Florida and Sally Looff
of Seattle, Washington, descendents of Charles Looff,
along with their children and grandchildren!
Another special guest will be Laura (Herbert) Trezona, who will
be celebrating her 100th birthday. Laura was
born July 18, 1909, the exact day that this carousel
first went into service in Spokane!
There will also be displays set up from other carousels of
the northwest, including A Carrousel for Missoula in
Missoula, Montana, The Ferry County Carousel in
Republic, Washington, and
the Three Rivers Carrousel, soon to be operating in
Kennewick, Washington!
A complete listing of the activities planned for the 100th
birthday celebration are available
on SpokaneCarrousel.org. Hope to see you at the celebration!
