"Spotlight on Railtown" Fundraiser Announced for Saturday, June 9th!.... Evening Festivities Centered in Historic Roundhouse and Aboard Train

Jamestown, CA....Tuolumne County's Rotary clubs will host a "Spotlight on Railtown" fundraiser on Saturday evening, June 9, at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park (SHP) in Jamestown. This special fundraising event is one of several that local Rotary clubs are holding in an effort to keep Railtown 1897 SHP open and in continued operation. Tickets are $50 per person and all proceeds will directly benefit the Park and its continued operation....

The festivities will begin at 6 p.m., with local wines and delicious appetizers served in and around the Park's signature facility, the Historic Jamestown Roundhouse and Shops. As guests tour the facility, they will enjoy live music; turntable demonstrations; historic railcar rides; and "Movie Star" locomotive Sierra No. 3 in operation. Next will be a silent auction, followed by dramatizations and short speeches in the historic Depot. Then, for a relaxing grand finale to the evening, guests will enjoy a ride aboard Railtown 1897's excursion train, with silent auction results announced as the train arrives back at the Depot.

Rail enthusiasts and the community at large are encouraged to play a supporting role in Railtown 1897's future. Tickets for "Spotlight on Railtown" are available from local Rotary club members, at the Park itself during regular hours, or online at www.railtown1897.org.

"Spotlight on Railtown" is presented by the Sonora Rotary Club, Sunrise Rotary Club, ‘49er Rotary Club, Twain Harte Rotary Club, and Groveland Rotary Club, and sponsored by the Black Oak Casino, California State Parks, and the California State Railroad Museum Foundation. Featured wines will include Gianelli Vineyards of Jamestown, Indigeny Reserve Hard Cider and La Bella Rosa Vineyards both of Sonora, and Zucca Mountain Vineyards of Murphys.
