Caboosefest 2022

Jul 20, 2022

The Central Frontenac Railway Heritage Society is pleased to announce Caboosefest 2022 will be held on Saturday, August 6th at the Railway Heritage Park off Elizabeth Street in Sharbot Lake, from 10am to 3pm.

“The event has something for the entire family,” says Derek Redmond, President of the CFRHS. “There will be an opportunity for the community to learn about railway history, take a guided tour of the Railway Heritage Walkway if they wish, learn about geocaching from a local expert or just take in the family fun with a variety of games and contests.”

Caboosefest will offer great prizes and a silent auction. There will be games for kids, along with a craft area and a singalong for kids at 11am featuring Gary Giller,Jim MacPherson and Dave Limber.

Dennis Larocque will be joining Gary, Jim and Dave for live music from 1pm – 2pm. To top all that off, Cota’s Mobile Catering will be onsite with pulled pork and french fries, and Sharbot Lake's new local brewer, Kick and Push Brewery, will host a beer tent.

Registration at Caboosefest is $5 per person or $20 for a family of four or more. With registration, there will be ticket(s) for prize draws included.

People can buy extra tickets or they can “earn” extra tickets by participating in a variety of games and contests suitable for all ages.

“While the event is a fundraiser for the Railway Society, we also think it is important to make the day a true family, community day as well," Redmond says. "It's a day of live music, great food and drink and fun and games. It’s something we can all enjoy outdoors in our beautiful Railway Park.

“We are hoping for a great turnout, good weather and that everyone remembers a lawn chair so they can stay a while and enjoy all the day has to offer.”
