Jamestown’s Ready To Roll: Rods To Rails

Rods to Rails will take over downtown Jamestown and Railtown 1897 State Park on Saturday from 10 am through 4 pm.

Jim O’Neil, Vice President of the Promotions Club of Jamestown, was Wednesday’s KVML “Newsmaker of the Day”.

This is the third year of Rods to Rails. Main Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from nearly one end of town to the other. Main Street will be lined with custom and classic cars and motorcycles, dating from 1972 and older. Vinatge and Signature cars will be found at Railtown State Park.

It is free for the public to attend this downtown event. There is a registration fee to enter a classic car.

There will be plenty of live music in various parts of the downtown area and at Railtown 1897. Additionally, there will be carriage rides between Main Street and Railtown and a free shuttle.

There will be raffle drawings, food, numerous vendors, train rides and many downtown businesses will offer a variety of specials.

The Promotions Club is a non-profit organization that exists purely to promote Jamestown.

The informal club brings activities to town throughout the year. Money is raised for the club during specific events through a combination of t-shirt sales, food purchases and raffle drawings.

The “Newsmaker of the Day” is heard each weekday morning on AM 1450 KVML at 6:45, 7:45 and 8:45am.
