RFTV: Party In The Park

Aug 28th, the last Party in the Park for Chilliwack this year. And though it was the last, it most certainly was not the least. In fact, that may have been the best night Chilliwack has seen in years. It was like an outdoor concert, but instead of teens in a mosh pit, there were kids dancing, elderly couples showing off their moves, young and old singing along to the music that the wonderful musicians played that night. That is a night not to be forgotten.

Amidst all of the energy, RFTV set upAi??Ai?? a booth with a simple setup and a simple message, ” Rail is the Answer!” In reality, the message was so simple that, apparently, it didn’t need to be said. Almost everybody that came by said they strongly agree and of those people, over 170 of them signed a petition that shows support for passenger rail on the Interurban. There are some that believe that not many people will not use the train. It seems to me, that in Chilliwack, which has been said to be the town least interested, is in fact, very interested.

Chilliwack is a great place, as is the rest of the valley. Passenger rail will only make things better. Lets make rail a reality!
