🍓 Thank You for a Great Strawberry Festival! 🍓

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and rode speeders during the Strawberry Festival in Lemont. We enjoyed sharing this unique rail experience with so many members of our community.

A special thank you to the Lemont Village Association for all of their hard work organizing and putting on this year's Strawberry Festival. Community events like these would not be possible without the dedication of their volunteers and supporters.

We would also like to thank our dedicated volunteers who helped make the day a success. Your hard work and support are greatly appreciated.

🚂 Support BHRS During Centre Gives!

The Centre Foundation’s Centre Gives campaign is happening now through 8 PM on May 7! This 36-hour online event makes it easy to support local nonprofits—and the Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society is participating.

This year, donations will help us purchase an enclosed trailer to safely store and transport our speeders. This will protect our equipment and make event setup much easier for our volunteers.

Every donation is boosted by a $500,000 stretch pool and bonus prizes—so your impact goes even further!

💻 Donate online at CentreGives.org (search Bellefonte Historical Railroad Society)
📞 Or call 814-237-6229
💲 Minimum donation: $10

Thank you for helping keep our rides rolling! 🚂💙
