August 18 - Boreas Pass Railroad Day 9:00-3:30
Boreas Pass Railroad Day has sites to visit in Como, 4 or so stops on Boreas Pass, and one in Breckenridge at the Rotary Snowplow Park (foot of Boreas Pass.) You don't have to be there at 9:00. Its a self-guided tour. There will be people at most if not all of the stops talking about each place.
Imagine the excitement when Tom’s Baby, a 13.5-ounce gold nugget was discovered in Breckenridge. It was taken over Boreas Pass to Como and on to Denver in a train pulled by Engine No. 9. Celebrities and ordinary folks, criminals and lawmakers all traveled on the train over Boreas Pass in the years between 1882 and 1937. Trace their steps and learn some history on Boreas Pass Railroad Day.

What movie? Bring our own chairs? Can we bring our own snacks/beverages? What type of food is sold? Thanks for any further info you have.
I have no idea what movie Lynn has chosen yet...possibly a Pixar. I'll post that info and what food items will be available once we have it. Yup...bring your own chairs and yes it's okay to bring your own snacks & beverages. We may be selling what we did at the last Movie/Music Night...hot dogs, nachos, chips, soda & water, and pizza. Not sure about ice-cream. Prices will be at the table.
You can contact Lynn Griffin at the Rustic for more info but I believe the movie is "Rio". Concessions will be the same as last time....hot dogs, nachos, pizza, ice-cream, soda, water and popcorn. So far it's looking like no rain but bring a poncho/umbrella, chair/blanket, jacket..... You're welcome!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
