THANK YOU!
Two simple words, but they mean so much when they're sincere.
The organizing committee for the Ravenna Railroad Festival would like to thank this amazing community for making and supporting a great event!
First of all, thank you to the outstanding sponsors who contributed to make the festival possible!
Platinum sponsor: PBT Bancorp
Gold sponsor: CG Bank
Silver sponsor: Mercy Health Marcum and Wallace Hospital
Bronze sponsors: Rumpke, ProGen Restoration, Triple D Containers
Copper sponsors: Meade's Do-It Center, Hardy Gas, Jackson Energy, Cole & Durham Insurance

A special thanks goes to the City of Ravenna, Estill County EMS, Estill County Emergency Management, Click Farms, and Irvine Community Television.
Thank you to all the vendors, all our amazing musical performers, the best sound guy in the business - Ethan Moore, our pageant winners, our kiddie parade participants (and their pit crews!), local FCCLA members, the Twin City Kruzerz, our railroaders who came out for the reunion, Kentucky Steam Heritage Corp and the Roger Richardson Memorial Railroad Museum, and the INCREDIBLE folks from the Kentucky Iron Collective for once again doing a legit iron pour right here in our little town!
This festival is a labor of love for the folks who work behind the scenes to pull it all together. There are always hiccups along the way, but this unmatched community always pulls together to make it happen. For everyone who came out to the festival, THANK YOU for your support!
Finally, if you would like to take part in making the festival happen next year, shoot this page a message - we would love to have you!
See you next year! September 11 and 12, 2027!
