New Beers Every WeekTasting Events Every Friday

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 dis-play, but in a new home, American Legion Post 79, and, Van Gerpen, the marketing manager of the Northwest Railway Museum and Railroad Days chairperson, prom-

ises, “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.

Children’s Field of FunThe Children’s Field of Fun is noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18, and 11 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at the Depot, 38625 S.E. King St.The Field of Fun gives children a place to explore, play and unwind during the festival, allowing their parents a chance to spend more time at the event.Confirmed events include a bounce house, Kumon basketball hoop games, a gymnastic performance, and more.Nearby, Washington & Northern Oregon Rental is bringing its rock-climbing wall for children to explore.

Train and speeder car ridesBoard the Railway Museum’s antique train, and see Mount Si and the top of Snoqualmie Falls.Times are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, boarding at the Snoqualmie Depot, 38625 S.E. King St.When the train is away from the station, the Railway Museum will offer rides on its speeder car, a small, fast motorized passenger carrier that runs on the railroad.There is a small cost for rides.

Railroad demonstrationsThe 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.

Back where it all beganMeadowbrook gathering on Friday celebrates history of the region

Families 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 ulti-mately, 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 wild-life display, and bring a dessert or other treat to share. Drinks will be provided.

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 sip-ping 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 [email protected]. Or, visit www.railroaddays.com.

Snoqualmie tribal carver and drummer John Mullen shows a group of children how it’s done at the Arts at the Depot event at Railroad Days. Mullen is among a big group of returning artists.

Children’s Paint OutThis year, a free children’s paint out will be hosted

near the Railroad Park Gazebo, where children can practice with watercolors on site, in emulation of the judged Plein Air Paint Out.

Snoqualmie Valley Arts member Lanice Gillard is looking forward to helping kids explore their artistic sides, and is hoping for around 200 children throughout the day.

“I think some of them think they don’t have talent, and all of them do,” she said.

Art, in the great outdoorsThe Snoqualmie Plein Air Paint Out is Saturday,

August 18 at Snoqualmie Railroad Days.Artists of all skill levels and mediums are invited

to paint “en plein air”—in the open air—in Historic Downtown Snoqualmie and throughout the city.

The Snoqualmie Arts Commission will select a winning work at 3 p.m. at an artist reception and public artwork showing at The Black Dog, 8062 Railroad Ave. S.E. A no-host bar for wine and beer will be available.

Giddy-up: Old-fashioned wagon ridesTake 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.

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 com-

mand 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. To learn more about the club, visit www.

unwclub.org.

Visitors to Railroad Days check out the United NorthWest Model Railroad Club’s model layout. The

club returns this summer with two sets of tracks.

Snoqualmie artist Todd Gamble’s creativity can

be seen in RR Days poster, map

It starts with sheets of house insulation, steel wool and tooth-picks. 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, graph-ics for game materials, maps for role-playing gamers, silk screens, terrain, murals.

“I’ve always got a new fuse

to light,” says Gamble.His biggest job right now is

helping build a huge model rail-road 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 ref-erences 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 imagi-nation.

“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 moun-tains, 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 amaz-ing creations at www.toddgam-bleart.com.

It took a matter of hours for Snoqualmie resident Todd Gamble to craft this piece of model railroad scenery. Gamble’s creativity can be seen in promotional materials for Railroad Days in recent years.


Legends Car Club bringing classic ridesSteam-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 restora-tions and transforma-tions of cool cars from America’s historic past.

Buffs can enter cars, trucks and motorcycles in dozens of different cat-egories. 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.You can learn more at www.legendscarclub.net.
