CALLING ALL ROSIES!!

Our friends at the Dennison Railroad Museum are looking for Rosies of all ages for an event on June 20th, 2026.

Please read here and join the planned fun!

On June 20th, 2026 we will attempt to host a gathering of 250 Rosie the Riveter look-alikes (or Rosies themselves!) to take part in our Victory on the Homefront celebration. The event will showcase what "Dreamsville USA" (Dennison as it was known by the soldiers who came through the Canteen in WWII) represented as a small town American Homefront. Think 1940's Americana, homefront hospitality, 1940s style and fashion, all the best!

We will be partnering with the American Rosie the Riveter Association to help celebrate the homefront contributions that women made to aid in the war efforts. We will celebrate with a Lookalike Competition for Oldest and Youngest Rosie in Attendance, Best “Vintage” looking Rosie, and Best 21st century Rosie (women in male dominated fields). There will also be a mini parade of all 250 Rosies and Rosie look-alikes in attendance where we will honor the Rosies in our lives. The ARRA will also be bringing banners that their organization makes to help remember Rosies who cannot travel to events, or who are no longer with us, to honor their contributions to the war effort, which will be an impressive sight to see!

There are bound to be a few Rosies in your midst! If you could either attend or help to spread the word to help us meet the goal of 250 Rosies, that would be fantastic! I have included a link to the American Rosie the Riveter page so you can better understand what their organization is about if you are unfamiliar with them. We are encouraging all Rosie attendants to come dressed up as a Rosie, either in the classic jumpsuit and red and white polka dot bandana or to take a fun spin on a 1940's vintage look of a rosie to get into the spirit of the event.

We are basically taking a bunch of pieces parts, in not great shape, and building an O-2 Skymaster.

Here you see some progress being made by our crews. The tail section painted and ready for markings and the instrument panel ready to go!
