On Saturday September 19 at 1:30 pm the Community Waterfront Heritage Centre invites the public to a ribbon cutting ceremony to open the 1953 CN Dining Car. Visitors are invited to board the passenger car at the CN station in Owen Sound for the first time in nearly half a century. Light refreshments will be served.
At 2 PM the winning ticket for the luxury train trip was drawn - the winner was R. Bennett, with a 41 phone number. Fewer than fifty tickets were left unsold as of last week. The total value of the first-class trip is $8000, with the option of taking the cash.
The 1600 raffle tickets helped finance the dining car's 173 km. trip to its new home on Owen Sound's waterfront.
