K**I says a jazz band will be playing at the AGSEM on Dec 13. Is there a time and price?
Would the museum like to take on the task of restoring either of these?
Cash and Carry
Was a GOOD thing
🌴🇺🇸🌴
This was my ex husbands property until the mid 1970s it was then The Guajome Ranch and it was a working ranch until then! They raised cows for many years. It was a land grant for col Cave Counts the first and Isadore Bandini as a wedding present in 1825!
Many fun memories hope to make a trip back soon
This was my ex husbands working ranch called The Guajome Ranch until the mid 1970s
This was my ex husbands ranch prior to the mid
1970ties
It was then named The Guajome Ranch
It was an Land grant to his ancestors in 1824 For Cor. Cave Couts and Isadora Bandini for their marriage.
DEAR FRIENDS, TECHNICAL MONUMENTS LOVERS .
I,am Polish modeller, enthusiast of history, historic album author, local activist and plastic model kits collector. Please read text bellow and help- its only one click on Your keyboard.
TOGETHER WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GIVE A NEW LIFE TO THE KŁODZKO CITY STEAM RAILWAY ENGINE HOUSE!
THE WORKPLACE OF MANY OF US, OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS, THE FORMER PRIDE OF MY TOWN, KŁODZKO POLAND, HAS A CHANCE TO BECOME THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE RAILWAY MUSEUM.
All you have to do is follow the link and select my city, KŁODZKO GŁÓWNE in the plebiscite for the premises of the Railway Road Museum.
DON'T FORGET TO CONFIRM YOUR CHOICE.
ATTENTION!!! You can vote every day, even if you have already voted. One day you can cast votes separately, e.g. from a phone, laptop etc., if the devices have different IP addresses (e.g. by broadband from router and from mobile phone). This is what the organizer decided, so let's take advantage of it - vote many times, until November 11, when the competition ends. Let's show that we can win!
This is the last chance to save this wonderful facility, let's vote for Kłodzko, save the engine house and leave a part of ourselves in the history of the this city.
SHARE WHERE YOU CAN. THE MUSEUM WILL BE ANOTHER ATTRACTIVE OF OUR CITY ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE, IT IS ALSO NEW PLACES.
Many thanks for help and i hope, see You in new museum.
Friendly regards- Bartlomiej Terlecki.
