Fall River Carousel Rides
Official Website: Fall River Carousel Rides
Occurs at: Battleship Cove
Location: Exit 7 off Rte 24, Fall River, MA
Phone:508-678-1905
Date: Wednesday, June 9, 2010 - Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Hours: Hours Vary

One of the oldest operating carousels in the country, the Fall River Carousel remains open seasonally for general ridership for just $1 per ride (or $5 per 7 rides).

Open year-round for private parties and special events, The Fall River Carousel is open for general admission throughout the following operating seasons:

The History of the Fall River Carousel
Whisper the word 'carousel' to any Southern New Englander, and you will undoubtedly evoke a smile, a sentimental sigh, and fond memories of Carousel #54. Built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1920 during the 'Golden Age' of wooden carousels, Carousel #54 was shipped from the City of Brotherly Love to North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, where it served as the crown jewel of Lincoln Amusement Park for seventy years.

The Fun House. The Comet. The Carousel. For decades these rides made Lincoln Park a fixture on the South Coast. A place where families congregated for wholesome entertainment, Lincoln Park attracted a laundry list of celebrity guests, including everyone from Eleanor Roosevelt to John F. Kennedy.

But in 1991 the park floundered, and as its owner flailed for capital to keep it afloat, a group of Fall River business leaders lobbied to bring the carousel to Battleship Cove. Much as they did for the battleship Massachusetts nearly thirty years before, the community rallied around the carousel and refurbished it at a cost of $250,000. A majestic Victorian pavilion was constructed to house the attraction; nearly as lavish as the carousel itself, the splendid structure now perches over Heritage State Park, offering panoramic views of the Battleship Cove fleet.

I have an amazing collection of powerful healing tools that I want to share. Including many rare, hard to find specimens, including Agni Golden Danburite, Naturolite, Azeztulite, etc. I will go over the abc's of crystals, how to work with them, which ones are good for you now. Why they are here, what they are to teach us and how we can move forward in love and healing with these tools. I will be doing a crystal chakra color meditation and using crystal sacred geometric grids as powerful tools of exploration into our being and all that is. This will be a fun evening. Wear comfortable clothes and come with an open mind. We will all experience the energy of the powerful 12 Synergy Crystal Wand I made at the Crystal Conference. These stones carry the highest vibrations of stones on the planet. Come feel a nirvana quartz - a very rare stone that helps one integrate the physical and spiritual energies available to us all. I teach a monthly workshop and class on Healing and Balancing the Chakras with Gemstone Energy Medicine.

During the evening, participants will receive 15 minutes of Reiki and 15 minutes of Thetahealing. The other hour will be spent in a classroom receiving a group healing. We have been running this type of event for the past 5 years and it is growing every month. Attendees leave feeling very relaxed and peaceful. It is fully described at my website at : Nassrhealingartscenter.com As individuals from the group discuss their personal issues a theme unfolds and the energetic healing techniques of Yuen Energetics and Matrix energetics are used to treat everyone in the group. It is very effective and powerful. All that is needed is the intent on behalf of the participant to receive the healing. If you can join us please call ahead to reserve your spot at [masked]!

TAJ MAHAL
You could call him a singer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, ethnomusicologist, two-time Grammy-winner, world-class musical collaborator, musicians' advocate, world traveler, fisherman, or cigar aficionado. These titles are all accurate, yet none convey the warmth, humor, and soulfulness of Taj and his music. Taj has been playing his own distinctive brand of music - variously described as Afro-Caribbean blues, folk-world-blues, hula blues, folk-funk, and a host of other hyphenations - for more than 40 years. Caribbean, Hawaiian, African, Latin, and Cuban sounds and rhythms mix with folk, jazz, zydeco, gospel, rock, pop, soul, and R&B, all layered on top of a solid country blues foundation.

Nanci Griffith got an early start on her path to performing and songwriting. At the age of 6 she began to write songs, thinking of it as "part of the process of learning how to play guitar." While she doesn't remember many of her earliest songs, she does recall that "the first original song my mother commented on'was a song about Timothy Leary." Then at the age of 14, when a campfire turn at the Kerrville Folk Festival caught the ear of singer-songwriter Tom Russell, she was on her way. Having recorded 18 albums and performed concerts all over the world, it's safe to say that she's never looked back.

FARREN-BUTCHER INC
Both are master musicians, riveting performers, soulful and expressive singers. Both are hit songwriters, together having sold millions of copies
of their songs around the world. Both have written for television, motion pictures, and have toured and performed in many of the most prestigious
venues in the world. Both have grown and developed through years of creating the soundtrack for so many lives.

They have diverse backgrounds, but as veterans of the now legendary Boston music scene, they intersect with a shared history and common
love and appreciation for the roots of what makes music move us. A collective respect and enthusiasm for the personal journey music offers
both performer and listener.

As much as that intersection of styles, influences, and backgrounds makes this collaboration work so well, it's where those vertices lead that gives it
such a rich scope and range. Jon Butcher and Charlie Farren have now combined forces to present a new Duet that is more than a sum of the parts. Their unique talents multiply each other, creating an evening that is instrumentally stunning, vocally powerful, lyrically touching, and just plain fun!
