CRRM Update: Disney Volunteers

The Colorado Railroad Museum participated in Disney's nationwide volunteer program. For working at the museum, Disney generously provided a pass for one of their parks. This was our first work session geared towards families. Over the past two days we had over 130 first time volunteers. (I think the youngest was five.) Everyone had a great time and we really accomplished a tremendous amount. For many it was their first visit to see us. Interestingly the most popular job for the little ones was sorting the coal pile. We need coal for 346's steamup next weekend and someone has to break it into smaller pieces. We had a steady stream of families wanting to participate in this activity.
