Dennis Connors along with Alan Hughs talks to the riders at Kingston Point. |
| Joe Leister, Joe Connors, Rich Edling, and Steve Ladin (not pictured) moved the golf cart out of the shop and covered it with a tarp. After its removal from the cart chassis, we will be mounting the body on a wheeled platform so it can be used as a parade float or pulled to various locations as a sign-post, advertisement, or information kiosk. It is now covered with a tarp outside in the area adjacent to the north overhead door of the shop. |

Evan Jennings operates car 358 to push tarped 250 out of the museum yard so 250 can be trucked to its new home at the Shore Line Trolley Museum. More pictures of the move are here. |
| Evan Jennings paints the new paneling protecting the Q car. The car is being "cocooned" to better protect it until a full restoration can begin. |

| Oslo #3 is delivered to the museum. Jim Lilly and Bill Banks discuss the car. This trolley built in 1897 is the oldest trolley at the museum. It underwent a restoration about 40 years ago, and it remains in very good condition. At the point the trolley line is electrified, it will likely be one of the first cars running. |
