Summer BBQ at Walt’s Barn
Please join us for great food, great music and great company on August 4, 2012.
We will celebrate the “Past, Present and Future” of the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society and the Carolwood Foundation and all the changes at Walt’s Barn.
The Summer BBQ will take you back to 1955 when the Park opened. Come see the original and restored Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad Combine car that has been decorated to its Opening Day appearance. The Combine will have just returned from Fullerton Railroad Days where it joined other historic Disneyland Railroad equipment.
You’ll enjoy delicious barbeque of Tri-tip, barbequed chicken, barbequed ribs and all the fixings. There will be something for everyone’s tastes. You’ll enjoy old-fashioned butter pecan ice cream, made with genuine steam-power! Sample old-fashion hot popcorn, ice-cold lemonade and down-home southern sweet tea.
We’ll be treated to live barbershop music sung by the Santa Monica Oceanaires. You’ll enjoy tours of Walt’s Barn with its new displays and the newly restored Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad Combine #101 rail car. Enjoy a miniature steam train ride provided by our friends at the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum. Shop at our brand new souvenir stand, and see Ollie’s Depot. Check out some of our new acquisitions that will be on display.

Michael Broggie, co-founder of the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society and founder of the Carolwood Foundation;
Tim Lagaly, preservation expert who restored the Disneyland Railroad Lilly Belle coach and the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad Combine Car.
