This pin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Looff Carrousel in Spokane. I went to Spokane in 2010 to complete a portion of my Masters program at Gonzaga University. During one of my free nights I was able to walk through town. While walking through Riverfront Park in downtown, I came across the Carrousel and learned all about the history. Charles Looff designed and hand-crafted the carrousel. He is the same person who designed the first carousel for Coney Island. I thought that was really cool. I went for a ride and bought a few pins. This was one of them.
