rts Preview will feature local non-
profit organizations with booths offering
free activities before the Spokane

begins is the Spokane Symphony Petting
Zoo which gives children a first hands-
on introduction to the uniqueness of the
different instrument families. The Spokane
Symphony Labor Day Concerts’ sponsor
STCU, the city staff of Liberty Lake,
Kiwanis and Friends of Pavillion Park are
all essential in making this event happen.
