I received news today that Union Pacific Railroad will be hosting an Open House at the Jenks Shop in North Little Rock, Arkansas. This will be held in conjuntion with the North Little Rock Centennial. The NLR Centennial will be held April 30 to May 1, 2004. The Open House at the Jenks shop will be Sunday May 2, 2004, beginning at 12 noon and lasting until 5 pm. The Jenks shop is located on Pike Avenue and close to 4th Street. You can't miss the Jenks shop as the Centennial 6938 sits right in front of the Jenks shops. <br /> <br />At the Open House UP will be serving free Hot Dogs and drinks and have balloons for the kids. There will be public tours of the Repair Shop, Equipment Displays and Yards. North Little Rock Centennial and Union Pacific souvenirs will be for sale. <br /> <br />Other attractions include Diamond Rio, Robert Shields, Kenneth Jackson and Mary Steenburgen and hubby Ted Danson. Many of you already know that Mary Steenburgen is a native of North Little Rock. She is also Honorary Chair of the celebration. The movie "End Of The Line" was filmed in and around the Central Arkansas area and stared Mary Steenburgen and Wilford Brimley. <br /> <br />The Celebration boasts 4 stages and 75 acts. Bass Pro Shops will have an Exhibit -- "King of the Bucks". There will be "State Fair Carousel & Rides", Animal Station, fireworks and much more. Sounds like a fun time for all, especially us train fans. [:D] [8D] [;)] <br /> <br /><If there is a Farris Wheel Jim WILL NOT be on it. Now the train is a different story [:D] [;)] > <br />
