HERITAGE WEEK SHOW
The town of Helper’s Western Mining and Railroad Museum in Carbon County is planning their annual Heritage Week, and has asked the Ophir, Tintic and Western Model Railroad club to participate by setting up a layout or two on Friday and Saturday, June 6 & 7, 2008. Anyone who would like to participate should either be at the regular club meeting on April 17 at the Scera, or call the vice-president in charge of their scale to let them know of their interest. Helper is located 60 miles southeast of Spanish Fork on Highway 9, (1½ hours south of Orem). We will make further plans when we know how many people are able to participate.
