Old friends, new fun “We’re doing pretty well in the ‘new’ department!” Sue Van Gerpen says as she ticks off the additions to Railroad Days festivities. New to the annual Snoqualmie celebration, or returning after a long hiatus this year, are the balloon pop prize give-away, a pre-event Hobo Feed to benefit the festival, the return of Dan the Lego Man, a chance for young painters to join the Plein Air Paint Out, and a growing carnival atmosphere for the children’s area. The United Northwest Model Railroad Club will be back with their model trains display, but in a new home, American Legion Post 79, and, Van Gerpen, the marketing manager of the Northwest Railway Museum and Railroad Days chairperson, promises, “We have a very cool surprise that will be at the start of the parade.” With no chance of discovering the surprise early, we move on to the old favorites.
Snoqualmie firefighters will serve up a pancake breakfast as their annual fund-raiser Saturday, and those who want to earn their pancakes will be lined up for the 5K fun run at 9 a.m. in downtown Snoqualmie. Trains will run on their extended weekend schedule, starting Friday and wagon rides return to Falls Avenue from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. The food court is filled up, and there are plenty of vendors. Artists will set up supplies and capture scenes of Snoqualmie all day Saturday during the Plein Air Paint Out, and you’ll find action at the Depot, including “Little Bollywood” on the arts stage at noon Sunday. A full line-up of performers are scheduled for each of the three stages (main, arts and children’s), with enough musical variety to satisfy all tastes. Perennial favorites like the Left Coast Gypsies and Cascade Jazz share the billing with (there’s that word again) new must-see acts from 14-year-old blues phenomenon Nolan Garrett, and Seattle-area alt-country rock band Sightseer. An old favorite will also be returning as Grand Marshal of the parade. Former Railroad Days chairperson Lisa Schaffer and her husband Jim, who just retired as Snoqualmie Police Chief in July, have earned the honors this year. See inside for more Railroad Days fun.

Meadowbrook gathering on Friday celebrates history of the region
amilies are invited to start their Railroad Days fun with a look at where it all began, starting at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17, at the Meadowbrook Farm Interpretive Center, 1711 Boalch Ave. The Meadowbrook Farm Preservation Association, with assistance from the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Society, will host an evening on the history of the upper Valley and its first settlers. Learn the history of the Town of Meadowbrook, where pioneers first settled the Upper Valley and the story of the hop ranch that first brought railroads and prosperity to the area. The prairie was home to Snoqualmie Indians, then, discovered
by explorers who portaged around the falls in the mid-1800s, to farmers, the world’s largest hop farm, dairymen, and ultimately, a small community. Guests can also discover the source of our local elk herd (hint – they are from the Rocky Mountains), and other bits of history. Bring the kids for crafts, games, and a hands-on wildlife display, and bring a dessert or other treat to share. Drinks will be provided. Learn more about Valley history by visiting these websites: • www.meadowbrookfarmpreserve.org • www.snoqualmievalleymuseum.org
Railroad demonstrations The history of railroad construction and maintenance is filled with fascinating machines. The Northwest Railway Museum has a number of examples in its collection and Railroad Days is an opportunity to see some of them demonstrated. You’ll see motor cars, a tie spacer, an automatic spiker, a ballast regulator, and even special cranes that travel on both the railroad and the road. This year there will be demos at 12:15, 1:15, 2:15 and 3:15 p.m at the Snoqualmie Depot.

Arts alive!
Local artists are creating an island of cool culture at Snoqualmie’s Railroad Park Think arts are too highbrow for you? You’ll have another think coming after perusing the selection of amazing talents and crafts on display at Arts at the Depot, part of Snoqualmie Railroad Days. Photo vistas of nature, sculptures in wood and clay, jewelry, leather goods, fabric arts, quilts and many styles of painting—and live demonstrations by actual artists—are at the heart of Arts at the Depot. Visitors can watch art being made up close, and meet and chat with local artisans. At the same time, an Arts Stage with singers and music, and a wine garden for relaxed sipping is part of the experience. Thirty-two artists lend their works for the event, located at Railroad Park, across King Street from the Snoqualmie train depot. Snoqualmie Valley Arts, a nonprofit organization of local artists, and enthusiasts, organizes the show. The Valley already is a home to the arts. “We just have to help people know it,” says Sally Rackets, Director of Arts for Snoqualmie Valley Arts, who is helping plan the show. Redmond Ridge Winery will run the wine garden, offering lovely wines or non-alcoholic beverages. Bring your own food or purchase from Railroad Days vendors, sit and enjoy local song and music. Arts at the Depot is 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. You can learn more about Snoqualmie Valley Arts by e-mailing info@SnoValleyArts. org. Or, visit www.railroaddays.com.

When the whistle blows: Run! The Snoqualmie Railroad Days 5K, 10K and Kids’ 1K run is Saturday morning, Aug. 18, starting in downtown Snoqualmie. Race time is 8:45 for the children’s 1K, down Railroad Avenue. Older runners will have a 9 a.m. start time, announced by the nearby train whistle. The whistle start is a small detail, but appropriate, Run Snoqualmie race organizer Sean Sundwall says. “It’s becoming a fun tradition that I hear a lot of positive feedback on,” he said. Registration is in person at American Family Insurance, next to the 76 Station in Snoqualmie, at local FootZone stores, or online at www. signmeup.com/site/online-eventregistration/84853. Entry fees are $11 for children, $27 for adults. Runners cross the Snoqualmie River twice before finishing to the cheers of those gathering for the Railroad Days Parade. Walkers and strollers are welcome, but dogs aren’t. All children’s finishers receive a medal, and all pre-registered children get a free shirt. Trophies or medals are awarded to the top three finishers in each age group. There are cash awards for the 10-kilometer open race, masters (40 and older) and 5K open races. Post-race, stick around to enjoy the sights, sounds and food of Railroad days. The race is presented by Snoqualmie Casino. Learn more at runsnoqualmie. com.
Giddy-up: Old-fashioned wagon rides
Sip local brews at Eagles beer barden
Take an old-fashioned ride at Snoqualmie’s historic Railroad Days, on the Carmichael’s horse-drawn wagon. Visitors can hop on the open wagon, drawn by Wayne Buckner’s draft horses and enjoy a leisurely trip up and down Falls Avenue between noon and 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18. There is no cost. Board at the corner of Falls Avenue and River Street. Carmichael’s True Value Hardware owner Wendy Thomas has been sponsoring the wagon rides for the past several years. She says children love the wagon rides, but they are for everybody, kids, families, and maybe even people who want to meet someone. Carmichael’s is located at 8150 Falls Avenue S.E., downtown.
The Sno Valley Eagles Aerie hosts a beer garden, 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, at the King Street lot, just off Railroad Avenue, during Railroad Days. You can follow Sno Valley Eagles 3529 on Facebook.

Model RR comes to Legion Hall The United Northwest Model Railroad Club will have displays in the American Legion Hall, Saturday and Sunday as part of the Snoqualmie Railroad Days. Two layouts are planned, running trains at 1/160th the size of real-life locomotives. The N-Trak layout, a club favorite since 2008, is built to N-Trak standards with three main tracks and an upper “mountain division” rail. It can be configured to numerous shapes and sizes. The layout runs with DC power and with Digitrax digital command control. The other layout is T-Trak which are 12-foot-square tabletop modules. It was created in partnership with Snohomish County 4-H Foundation Railroad Group (which has both N-scale and HO-scale layouts). The 4-H Railroad Group railroad has been a part of United NorthWest since 2010. Visitors to Railroad Days check out the United NorthWest Model To learn more about the club, visit www. Railroad Club’s model layout. The unwclub.org. club returns this summer with two sets of tracks.

to light,” says Gamble. His biggest job right now is helping build a huge model railroad for a Medina, Wash., man. For Gamble, it’s a dream project. “I’ve always wanted a job where I can think and enjoy what I’m doing,” Gamble said. Gamble volunteered his time for the last two years, helping Sue Van Gerpen of the Northwest Railway Museum, Railroad Days organizer, free of charge. This year, he agreed to be paid a small stipend for his work, which references Americana with its red, white, blue and gold colors. The posters’ all-American,

small-town feel was always what he loved about Railroad Days. “You still see kids being pulled around in wagons, bicycles in parades—fun stuff.” Something about the legacy of the rails captures Gamble’s imagination. “I love history and the era of the late 1800s, early 1900s,” he says. “Steam was still pretty cool and new. All the resources were still in place. The forests must have been beautiful.” He still goes up into the mountains, snapping photos of ancient trees for photo references. East of the mountains, the
rugged evergreens and deserts also catch his eyes. “I love open landscapes,” Gamble says. For Gamble, it’s hard not to give of himself, helping local merchants and organizations. “Somebody should always be there to help the community,” he says. “I’m in a place to do that. I’m glad to do anything for my community.” Gamble has lived in Snoqualmie for 12 years, and is married to wife Cathy. You can learn about his amazing creations at www.toddgambleart.com.

It starts with sheets of house insulation, steel wool and toothpicks. But give Todd Gamble some paint, glue and a carving knife, and in a few hours, he transforms the materials into a mock-up of a rugged Northwest landscape, ready for a model train to roll past. Creating small, fun, beautiful things, straight from history or imagination is what Gamble does best. The Snoqualmie resident is the quietly creative mind behind a lot of projects in the Valley. You can find his handiwork in the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum’s magazine, in regional model train sets, international board games, and, for the last few years, in the posters and maps that promote Snoqualmie Railroad Days. Gamble puts his hands toward any project that catches his interest—model building, graphics for game materials, maps for role-playing gamers, silk screens, terrain, murals. “I’ve always got a new fuse

Legends Car Club bringing classic rides Steam-powered trains certainly have their fans, but Railroad Days’ third day is all about gas-powered, four-wheeling classics of the street. The Legends Classic Car show returns, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19. Members of the Legends Car Club and car buffs and gearheads from all over roar into town with amazing, much-loved and restored rides from every era, from the dawn of motorcars to today’s coolest sports cars. There are plenty of awards and trophies, plus contests and games for kids. The real draw is the chance to see some the amazing restorations and transformations of cool cars from America’s historic past. Buffs can enter cars, trucks and motorcycles in dozens of different categories. Registration is $15, or $20 on the day of show. Legends Car Club formed in 2000, and keeps many of its original team. “We try to make our car shows enjoyable and fun for participants and spectators,” said Legends member Gayle Sneesby. Fun awards are a part of that: The club mixes things up with different awards and games, such as straw-blown toy car races for children. Profits from the Snoqualmie show are split with the Railroad Days Committee. Proceeds go to help The Forgotten Children’s Fund, which provides holiday gifts for needy children, the Royal Family Kid’s Camp for abused children, Tanner Jeans Bicycle Rodeo, plus several food banks and senior centers. Last year, the event raised $11,000 in donations. The club also puts on the Tastin’ N Racin’ show at Lake Sammamish in June, and the Kirkland Classic Car Show in July.
