KVRwy Spring OPs Cancelled

Conventions, Shows, Clubs and Get-Togethers
#1

The Kaskaskia Valley Railway is announcing that the Springs OPs normally held on the 1st weekend of May has been canceled, because of conflicts with too many other fun things to do. This session was scheduled for the many years as the last weekend of April. Because of interest in the Illinois Traction Society and its annual meeting, also held on the last weekend, the ops was moved to the first weekend of May. However, the calendar gods are not being fair and this year it just got too complicated.

Please watch for future Ops Sessions on the rails of the Kaskaskia Valley Railway.

Sorry to hear this, but at least I won’t have to come up with another excuse why I can’t make it.

yes you will Jon, because I'm going to make Ric have one once I get back from CA. I'm not about to let Ric's social life ruen my fun. :)

Easter last full weekend of April.
Illinois Traction Society Annual meeting on saddle weekend of April to May
Mother’s Day weekend first full weekend of May
Club Meeting second full weekend of May

That’s the 4 weekends around the time we usually hold this session. The stars just weren’t aligned correctly.

My lawyers will be contacting you concerning my rights to annual Spring Ops Ric! And you better watch for my therapist to jump out of the bushes and assault you as well. Have you ever seen the movie…“What about Bob?” LOOK! I’m SAILING! I’M SAILING!

Lawyers and therapists, two more groups of people that rent slips at the marina from us. Bring them on. Tell them to bring money.
