Art Westerfield from Arroyo Grande was the lucky winner of the Athearn Southern Pacific Iron Horse HO Train Set. His entry was selected from those that submitted their email addresses during the Festival for inclusion on the CCRRF broadcast email list.
This train set will help Art and his 9 year old son get started in the hobby. Creating a model layout has long been on Art's bucket list! His grandfather worked for railroads for most of his adult life and Art has fond memories of him heading to work as an Engineer.
Thanks to all that signed up for our periodic emails and thanks to Horizon Hobby, Inc. for supplying the prize!

The Festival is designed to attract the attention of avid and casual rail fans as well as curious folks from across the Western United States. It presents historical, educational and recreational events for local citizens, the area's large population of second home owners and visitors. The visibility of all local rail entities as well as railroading in general is elevated and enhanced by the Festival. A cooperative spirit is developed among all participating organizations to promote their mutual well being and to expand interest in all things rail!
