For those that like "vintage" things that move, "Vintage Cars-Cruizin' With
Trolleys" will be held at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington, PA
on Saturday June 26th and Sunday June 27th 10am-5pm. There will be lots of
classic automobiles, trucks, and buses on display both days.  Rides will be
offered on authentic streetcars for a scenic ride into the past!  Food will
also be available for purchase and there's a shaded picnic area.

          On Saturday June 26th, there will be a special "rollout" ceremony
at 11am celebrating the complete restoration of a vintage 1949 trolley that
served Philadelphia's western suburbs.  Shortly thereafter, the Museum's new
McClane Loop will also be dedicated.  At 3pm there will be a parade of
trolleys that ran on the famous "Red Arrow" trolley line.

On Sunday, June 27th, there will also be rides on an authentic Monongahela
Railway caboose and cab rides on a vintage 1942 diesel locomotive built by
the H.K. Porter Co. of Pittsburgh (extra charge).  The 45-ton locomotive was
donated by Pennsylvania Transformer Technology in Canonsburg and was
recently restored to "like new" condition by Museum volunteers.

The Cramer Quartet will perform a variety of  tunes from the 30's, 40's &
50's and consists of:
Dennis Cramer- trombone/vocals
Liz Cramer- keyboards
Breanna Jack- drums
Tyler Jack- percussion

We begin playing at 10:45 and will perform at both morning events.  Come out
for some great trolley rides, see some antique cars and hear some classic
tunes.  The weather looks like it is going to be perfect for this
celebration of volunteers preserving living history.
