Move Railroad Days back to Main Street and the Public Square?

Yes, I liked when the Railroad Days festivities were bigger, and on Main St and the Public Square.  We should try to have more activities to involve more of the community in the celebration.  There should be lots of things to do, not just things to buy; though the fair rides, like Pharaoh’s Revenge (especially), should be kept for the Knox Co Fair.  Local talent in the forms of bands and barbeque near the beer tent was always a big draw; and lots of folks turned out for the volleyball games.  What’s a local celebration without some form of physical competition?  The railroads brought many diverse people together, and we can celebrate that diversity.  The library could host a special film (like: The Boxcar People) or a BIG READ about the railroad coming to Galesburg (for those folks who don’t like the heat on the street or the blokes on the blocks).  To be clear: volleyball in early afternoon, activities on Main St; then band, BBQ and beer tent around supper time.
