Community – What is it?

Truckee on the 4th of July is Community!

Kevin Brown and I, Truckee 4th of July parade

Kevin Brown, my husband Ron and I had Big Fun and sticky hands passing out a couple hundred free root beer floats at the parade.  Imagine scooping ice cream for 3 hours, on your knees and in the sun…(that was Kevin’s job).  Ron poured the root beer, after 3 hours, with a new-found skill so it wouldn’t foam all over his sticky hands.  This is us (still clean) before we blinked and a long line of kids had formed in front of our “Free” sign.

Most amazing?  At the end of the day we had one partial ice cream carton and one partial bottle of root beer left.  Perfect.  But don’t we look clean and calm here?  (Hint: that’s a Mimosa in those cups.)

We were also giving away free Truckee Railyard posters (only one left of those  at the end of the day!)  But, if you want one, just ask me.

As Kevin and Ron scooped and poured, I got to talk to people about why we were there.    And the amazing part?  Without exception, every person I spoke with was enthusiastic at the notion of movie theatres and housing in Truckee on the old railyard.

So, we are launched.  I have a slew of names going into our new database from the root beer give-away.  And, knowing our team, I am sure we will have more wacky ideas as we take this thing from a dream to a reality.

In the next few weeks I will be meeting with people interested in hearing more about the Railyard Community, and I would love to talk with YOU!

The train is leaving the station!  Come, jump on board with us!  We’re embarking on a grand new adventure.  And the only thing I know for certain is that it will be fun.
