I was asked by CShaveRR to shed some light on the first annual Rochelle Railroad Days which will take place May 20-21. It will be fairly simple this first year to start out. We plan to have a bluegrass band play live music and a dance Saturday night on May 20th. We will also have a Hobo King & Queen contest Saturday night along with some homemade Hobo Stew thanks to "Redbird's" recipe. We hope to conduct a swap meet Saturday, as long as we get the OK from the CNWHS convention to do so. We don't want to interfear with their swap meet on Sunday. We will also have a small street train with an engine and 2 cars that everyone can take a ride on. The Rochelle Muesum, just 2 blocks away, will have speaker Simon Cordery do a presentation about the railroads at 1pm on May 21 called "Crossroads of the Nation - The Hidden History of Illinois Railraods". There will hopefully be some other things going on as well that we haven't quite nailed down as of yet. <br /> <br />Ross Freier, Director <br />Rochelle Tourism & Visitor's Association <br />tourism@rochelle.net
