Holly Hill Boxcar Re-Dedication Ceremony 3/29/2008
 
 
Friday night Post 120 in Holly Hill will have a steak dinner available.
Post 270 in Port Orange will have a fish dinner available at a reasonable price. 
Post 120 would like to have a count of how many steaks would be needed so a call or e-mail to George for a steak dinner is needed.  Music will be at both posts.
 
Sat. the ceremony will take place at the box car at 10:00 am.  At noon, if anyone wants, Post 120 is having a chowder cook-off.  For $5.00 you can taste all the chowder.  On Sat. night at 6:00 pm Post 120 will be having a dinner.  Again they would like to have a count, so a phone call or e-mail is requested.
Sunday morning, there are a lot of breakfast places in the area.

Grand du Florida’s field trip 
to the Box Car in Holly Hill
January 21, 2005
 
During the Grand du Florida Petite Promenade (January 21, 2005), Dames and Voyageurs in attendance took a field trip over to the Holly Hill Box Car, where we were given a history of the Box Car by Sous Chef de Chemin de Fer Passe W.R. Tommy Thomas.  Also in attendance was American Legion Department of Florida Commander  (and Voyageur Militaire of V218) Tom Seitzinger, who said, "If the 40 men that rode this boxcar suddenly appeared today, and saw the work and dedication that was being done in their names, they would be proud."
