I’m predicting that it won’t rain Saturday morning, so let’s do a Union Station walking tour!

For those of you who have not yet checked out in person the huge amount of activity going on at Union Station—this is your chance.

Meet me at 17th & Wynkoop at about 9:50 AM this Saturday, July 16. We’ll get started promptly at 10:00 AM and we’ll conclude around 11:00 at the Millennium Bridge. During that one hour, you’ll see and learn a lot about Downtown’s biggest project and the future hub for the region’s transit system.

Normally, the suggested donation for the tour is $10 with proceeds going to the non-profit Union Station Advocates. However, for this Saturday’s tour, all donations received will be given to the two model railroad clubs, the Platte Valley & Western Model Railroad Club and the Denver Society of Model Railroaders, that have substantial model railroad layouts in the basement of Union Station. During last week’s huge rainstorm, the rooms where the clubs’ models are set up experienced major flooding. While most of the models themselves were spared, some electronics and other systems were damaged by the water and mud. By joining us on Saturday for the tour, your donations will help these two groups recover from the mess. Whatever donations are raised from Saturday’s tour, Union Station Advocates will match.

See you Saturday morning!
