Welcome
to the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round,
located in historic Holyoke, Massachusetts, alongside the Heritage
Park Visitor's Center, Children's Museum and Volleyball Hall of
Fame. Our 1929 merry-go-round and pavilion is the perfect place
for family fun, whether you're planning a birthday
party, a business social
or even dreaming of a special place to get married. |
Volunteers
Needed at the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round
Volunteers have always been
critical to the success of the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round. From the
early days of the Save the Merry-Go-Round for Holyoke Campaign
to the present time, hundreds of volunteers have generously donated
their time and talents to perform tasks and provide services associated
with every facet of our operation. Volunteers continue to be needed
to help us with children’s birthday parties, greet and thank
visitors at our Merry-Go-Round gates, assist at our concession,
accompany costumed characters and give out treats at special events
and so much more.
Please consider sharing a few hours a month of your valuable time
and your talents to help us preserve our historic treasure and
most importantly, to welcome our many visitors. Your reward will
be heartwarming smiles, shared memories and our staff’s
appreciation for the important assistance that you will be providing.
We will be happy to teach you about your new role and will schedule
you according to your availability.
If you are interested and would like more information, please
e-mail us at friends
@holyokemerrygoround.org.,
add subject “Volunteer” or call 413-538-9838. We would
love to hear from you!
