Non-Rail Activities
The Rails Across the Bay 2009 PCR Convention will once again feature a program for the Non-Rail attendees. All Non-Rail convention participants are cordially invited to vist the Non-Rail Hospitality Room and enjoy the fun, fellowship, and activities.
Hospitality
Coffee and cookies will be available in the Non-Rail Hospitality Room. All convention participants are welcome to stop by and enjoy some refreshments with the Non-Rail committee's compliments.
Contest
The Art and Craft Division of the PCR Contest is open to all convention attendees. Entries can be turned in during scheduled contest room hours and will be judged Saturday morning. The results will be announced at the Annual Awards Banquet Saturday evening.
Check the Contests webpage for more information.
Contest entry forms will be available in the Non-Rail Hospitality Room and the contest room.
This year there are 2 tours. The first tour on Thursday is a FREE "shop hop" and museum tour in Niles. The second tour on Friday is an extra-fare tour to the Patterson House at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont.
Both tours require sign-ups so we can get a count of how many will be attending.
