Help Needed at the Streetcar

Our thanks to John Weiss for providing the following information:

Help is needed to scrape and sand the Streetcar (which was formerly on the property of the Riviera Roadhouse in Gardner, IL, which burned down in February) to prepare it for painting. We would like to do this messy job where it is stored before it gets moved onto it's new home base by the two cell jail. The concrete has been poured already.

We will be doing this project on Wednesday September 8, 2010 at 9:00 AM. We need all the help we can get!

We will meet at the corner of Route 66 (Rt. 53) and where you turn to go into Gardner when you are Southbound.

Call John Weiss if you will be participating:

John's work day cell phone number is 815-210-3321
