and you will be removed.
Donations:
RailFest is a non-for-profit event, although it is not free for the event planners to put on each year.
That is why we ask for a small donation, mainly to pay for the cost of RailFest preparation/activities, and the cost of food.
RSVP:
We do ask that anyone planning to attend RailFest to please RSVP. This way, we know exactly how many people to expect at the event each year, and what preparation needs to be done.
