What a Day! Thank You, Alberton.

Extra Shoutouts to the Rockstars Behind the Scenes
Sheila Roehl: For rallying an amazing raffle and auction lineup, wrangling balloon and face painting magic, and supporting us all day long with Hunter by your side and your trusty trash can in tow. We see you!
Salinas and the Frenchtown Rural Fire Crew: For keeping things safe and festive during the parade and beyond.
Sheriff Funke and the Mineral County Sheriffās Office: Thank you for your grace (and backup) despite the missing parade permit. We will ensure it is in place next year.
Sean and Andrew: All the way from Washington, you brought history to life at the Milwaukee Railroad booth and in the parade. Sean, youāre officially part of the Railroad Day legacy. Andrew, one more year, and you'll be there too.
Upper Petty Creek Anti-Social Club: You monitored parade traffic like pros. For a crew that claims to be āanti-social,ā we sure rely on you. Thanks for stepping up.
Jeremiah of the PEAK Foundation: Thank you for the use of tables and your continued support of us and the town. You are an amazing asset to Alberton, and weāre lucky to have you and your wonderful family here.
RC of Black Oak Landscaping, Chandra M., Keren at Montana Valley Book Store, Vicki at Trax Bar, and Julie B. (who donated two cans): Because of your help, we only produced four bags of trash all day. Thatās clean, Alberton.
Rosie Z. and Bob B. (Alberton Ridge Runners): You saved our tents with those much-needed weights when the wind came barreling in. Solid work.
Jake Riggs: No social media, but a social legend. Thanks for staying to help us clean up (unlike Rikkie, whose timing remains suspiciously perfect š). And cheers to Jamee + Ryan for helping with takedown!
To our vendors, activity booths, raffle players, Plinko droppers, and Info Booth visitors: thank you. You bring the energy, the fun, and the spirit that make this day special.
Mark your calendars: next yearās event (always the 3rd Saturday of July) is Saturday, July 18th. Letās make it even bigger, brighter, and better.
With deep appreciation,
The Alberton Community Volunteers
