Hot Dogs at the Chapala Train Station

The Lake Chapala Shrine Club “ Loco Motive” Unit is sponsoring a traditional 4^th of July “All you can eat Hot Dog Fiesta” at the old train station Museum in Chapala.. The hot dogs are Costco all beef and are served with all the trimmings of mustard, onions, sauerkraut and ketchup. Enjoy the dogs with cold drinks from the cash bar and popcorn snacks.

 

The event is from 1:00 to 5:00 pm and the cost is only $100 pesos. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards the cost of building a landscaped stone base for a permanent exhibit of the Model trains donated to the Shrine Club by the model builder, David Netherton. The Fiesta will feature an exhibit and running demonstration of the Model trains and David will present an interactive discussion on the history of the 1920’s Chapala to Guadalajara railroad to all who are interested. Railway Engineer caps and wood train whistles (a great gift for your grandkids ) will also be on sale.

 

The 4^th of July Fiesta not only celebrates the signing of the American Declaration of Independence but is in support of the long term exhibition of articles used in the heyday of Mexico’s railroads. This exhibit is on loan to the Chapala Museum from the Mexican National Railway Museum in Pueblo.

 

The Shrine Club 4^th Of July Fiesta tickets are available at the O & A Investment Office (across the street from Wal mart) Tel. 766-4481, the Wednesday Tianguis in Ajijic or from Perry King at 763-5126.
