What a great picnic this was.
First, the weather couldn't be beat. Wall-to-wall sunshine, warm temps, comfortable dew points. The yard sale did extremely well, easily surpassing Linda's goal of raising $1000 for #9. We had over 250 ticket-holding passengers on Saturday (not counting the railcar), and almost 90 on Sunday. Saturday in the store there were more moments of busyness than there were of peace and tranquility. We sold a number of all-day passes.
The calendar did well, and the SR&RL conductors book was there before noon. I got the numbers right for the price, but in the wrong order: the list price is $23.95, I charged $32.95! Oops, sorry about that. The price will be lower next week. At least I didn't charge $95.23.
Final money numbers won't be in for a few days, but ridership-wise we did better this year than most Picnics in the last 5 years. I think the money will show that too.
