Another successful Snoqualmie Railroad Days is a happy memory. Thanks to all of you for coming out and enjoying the festival.

To our sponsors, your support is essential in promoting an outstanding community festival, as well as in sustaining a treasure like the Northwest Railway Museum. We couldn’t do it without your enthusiastic participation.

To our volunteers, we appreciate your gifts of time and effort. Volunteers operated both the model trains and the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad, staffed the information booth, demonstrated equipment, manned (or womanned) the barricades, and helped with every facet of the event. To the Railroad Days Festival Team, our deepest thanks. The following are the folks who led an area of the festival from idea to success. Many thanks to Greg Sheehan, Dick and Sallie Burhans, Susanna Fuller, Bob Cole, Diane Humes, Leah Harrison, Bob Keeton, Jim Schaffer, Todd Gamble, Traci Smith, Gayle and Ray Sneesby, Sharon and Wes Sorstokke, Phil Stafford, Sean Sundwall, Wendy Thomas and Jeff Waters.

To our vendors, entertainers and venue operators, thanks for being the seasoning that enriched the event. Snoqualmie Valley Arts, Snoqualmie Arts Commission, United Northwest Model RR Club, Climb for Fun, The Big Purple Slide, Redmond Ridge Winery, Sno Valley Eagles, Unity Theatre, Banana Boogie (by North Bend Emerald City Smoothie), BNSF, the Legends Car Club and the Snoqualmie Fire Department’s Pancake Breakfast contributed memorable activities that were enjoyed by all. Thank you to the “go to” guys and gals: SECAST, the police and fire departments, parks, public works, and water departments, and to Chapman Electric for giving us the electrical infrastructure to operate the festival.

Thank you all for helping to promote Railroad Days. From poster distribution to Facebook, you made it happen. We send a special thank you to the folks at The Valley Record for an outstanding job on our Festival Guide.
