Wow! As a MAVWA fundraiser, my friend and fellow feltmaker Lorrie Teates and her husband Robert have donated a President's/First Class ticket on the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Steam Train for Saturday October 3rd.
At a value of $313, this is a VERY generous donation, and THE best day trip the Railway offers.
Use the link below to put in a bid for the trip through some of the most beautiful fall countryside in Colorado - and support a very good cause!
Good luck!
