15th Annual Railroad Day Festival and Classic Car Show Rescheduled for Saturday, November 7, 20203/17/2020 With the uncertainty of the current Coronavirus pandemic along with the CDC’s newly released guidelines regarding crowd limitations, the Board of Directors of the West Nassau Historical Society has decided to reschedule our 2020 Railroad Day Festival and Classic Car Show from this April 18 to Saturday, November 7, 2020. This new date had already been set aside for our fall Hobo Day so now we will use the autumn Saturday to celebrate both our rich railroad history along with the fabled rail riders of yore.
This decision was not an easy one to make considering the ever-changing aspects of this very fluid national health crisis. The West Nassau Historical Society is an all-volunteer nonprofit and we rely heavily on the proceeds that we receive from this one day event. Many of our members have already put in countless hours preparing the historic 1881 Callahan Train Depot, stage and grounds for our 15th Railroad Day and Car Show. We were very excited about opening in a few weeks the doors of our beloved depot museum to visitors both young and the young at heart. However, the health and well-being of the people of our community, especially our senior citizens, are paramount to anything else. In the coming days we will be reaching out to our sponsors, supporters, entertainers, exhibitors and vendors and explain our situation. Those arts/craft and food vendors who have paid for their spots will be given full credit to use on our new November 7th date or at our 16th Railroad Day Festival and Car Show to be held on April 17, 2021. Any questions will be addressed via CallahanRRdays@aol.com.  The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival today announced that in addition to the previously announced cancellation of the March 19 Itzhak Perlman concert, Valentina Lisitsa (March 31) and Lynn Harrell (April 5) also have elected to cancel their appearances due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Festival will be issuing refunds to ticketholders as soon as possible.
Also canceled are the March 27 Free Family Concert with the Kelly/Scott Quintet and the March 28 Free Concert in the Park with the UNF Big Band Ensemble. Final decisions about proceeding with the Dover Quartet concert (April 17), the Dover’s Master Class (April 18) and the Zukerman Trio season finale performance (April 26) will be made by mid-April. Depending upon circumstances over the next 30 days, including the possibility of additional artist cancellations, these performances will be held. However, ticket sales to these concerts have been suspended until further notice. If canceled, refunds will be made to ticketholders.
