Red Caboose


The Red Caboose at Heritage Park underwent a few cosmetic renovations this summer thanks to a joint effort by the Taylor County Historical and Genealogical Society and the Community Corrections Program.
This is an incomplete picture, but it's the only one that's easily accessible this evening as I go through a few picture folders.
I'll post better ones (including interior shots) soon. Even better, anyone who has better shots can email them to me at MK@Grafton123.com and I'll be happy to use them.
Thanks for the hard work on a worthwhile project!

Can you spare a few minutes a day to help some very special PURRsonalities?
PURR West Virginia (P.eople U.nited for R.escue and R.ehabilitation) needs some help from you! The Fall 2009 Petfinder/Animal Rescue site Shelter Challenge begins September 14 and continues through Dec. 20. We were so close to winning the state prize of 1000.00 in the Spring, holding the number one place for nearly three months! We need your help, and your votes! PURR is a non-profit 501c3 private feline sanctuary with a big dream. We not only help the cats and kittens in our care, we help the community rescue and rehabilitate! We are currently full and are looking for volunteers, sponsors and adopters to help the cats who have been abandoned, neglected, and abused.
An easy way to help, take a few minutes of your day and vote for us by clicking on the link below and searching WV and 26347, or searching for p.u.r.r. and WV.
Our paws are little but our dreams are big!
Thank you for caring!
