Letter to the editor,
Wasn’t RailRoad Daze amazing? People flooded into our little community and had a great weekend of fun. A parade, a ball tournament, games, dances, music, amazing radio-controlled aircraft, and model train displays. Our parks, restaurants, and homes were buzzing with people and activity. Even a rainy Sunday couldn’t stop the ball games, the music in the Park, nor the Great Beaver Boat Races.
RailRoad Daze is again alive and well thanks to a dedicated bunch of volunteers that ignored the ‘nay sayers’ and the ‘can’t be doners’ to put on this very successful weekend. This army of volunteers should be recognized one by one, but you can’t because there are too many of them. And you would certainly miss some that quietly, unobtrusively, made their contribution. But a particular hats off to a deserving Sheila Mason who chaired this daunting task.
We all witnessed and enjoyed what can happen if a determined group puts their shoulder to the wheel. Thank you volunteers. You’re a great bunch.
