Description

Rosalie Murrey Memorial Foundation, a Spokane-based non-profit dedicated to providing enriching and inclusive early childhood learning experiences for children with disabilities, cordially invites you to an event where everyone can enjoy the historic Looff Carrousel. This free, family-friendly occasion welcomes all visitors on May 19 from 2-6pm. Guests are encouraged to ride the Carrousel as many times as they like during the event, with the requirement to exit and rejoin the line after each ride.

This event is open to all, with a particular focus on extending a warm welcome to children with disabilities and their families. We've selected Looff Carrousel as our venue in honor of what would have been Rosalie's sixth birthday, as it was one of her cherished places to visit. The Rosalie Murrey Memorial Foundation is dedicated to offering enriching and inclusive early childhood learning experiences for children with disabilities. This event provides us with an opportunity to engage with the community while advancing our mission.

To ensure an inclusive experience, several accommodations will be provided throughout the event:

  • Free pre-registration, allowing families to skip the line for quicker access to the Carrousel.
  • Designated quiet space for individuals seeking respite from the crowd.

During two specific hours of the event, from 2pm-3pm and 3 p.m. – 4 p.m., special measures will be in place to support riders with diverse needs:

  • From 2 p.m. – 3 p.m., Carrousel music will be significantly lowered, lights will be dimmed, and the number of riders per ride will be limited to ensure ample space.
  • From 3 p.m. – 4 p.m., music will be lower than usual, lights will be on, and the number of riders per ride will continue to be restricted.

For the remaining hours, from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m., the Carrousel will operate as usual, with full-volume music, all lights on, and no rider restrictions.

Join us for this fun event!
