	The Maharaja's Tiger	LC Fieldhouse Grand Staircase	-	On April 27, 2007, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane Washington hosted the “Carousel on Parade” auction and gala. The line up consisted of twenty-six fiberglass carousel animals, which included fourteen ponies, five tigers and eight giraffes. The carousel animals were displayed around various locations throughout Spokane since September 2006. Twenty-two local artists from the surrounding Spokane area painted these one of a kind pieces of art. A group of LC parents combined resources to bid and win this one of a kind piece of art for LC. The Maharaja's Tiger: This was the most favored of pets owned by the Maharajah. So pampered and secure in the affections of the great leader, he allowed only the most beloved children, of the most favored wives, a ride. Artist: Kim Saenz Click here for more images of the Maharaja's Tiger.
