The Rosenberg Railroad Museum Presents The Circus Comes to Town committee members Doris Gurecky, Sharon Wallingford, Marcia Vogelsang and Lupe Uresti are on the front porch of Rosenberg’s Ebell House where a private dinner for 12 is being auctioned off at the newly restored home at the Saturday, October 12th event.

It’s full steam ahead for the Rosenberg Railroad Museum’s committee presenting The Circus Comes to Town on October 12th at Safari Texas Ranch as they prepare for the annual fundraising event. A tribute to circuses that have traveled the rails to bring fun, family entertainment to towns across the nation since the mid-1800s, this year’s event features circus-themed, live entertainment and amazing live and silent auctions with something for everyone.

What’s on board for the live auction? How about a Vintner’s Dinner for 16 at Rosenberg’s hottest wine bar B R Vino?  Or, perhaps a more intimate dinner in a historical setting?  Enjoy dinner for 12 at the newly restored Ebell House in Rosenberg. The Ebell House was built in 1902 with bricks from Rosenberg’s Carter Brick Factory, and this will be the first time an event has been offered for auction in the historic home since it’s restoration by Joe and Doris Gurecky. If traveling is more your style, there’s a South Padre Island adventure with four days and three nights in a 15th floor condo with views of the Gulf of Mexico and Laguna Madre Bay. Also offered is a weekend fishing getaway in Matagorda Bay with accommodations at the Paisley House and a fully guided fishing trip.  For the ladies, there’s a chauffeured trip for 6 to antiquing in Warrenton and Round Top during Texas’ Antique Weekend’s spring market, plus much, much more!

Proceeds from this year’s event will support program operations and general operating needs for the Museum to assist in preserving the rich heritage of the railroad industry and its contribution to the history of Fort Bend County. Sponsorships are available for the event, and they range from $1,000 to $5,000. All sponsorship opportunities – from The Ring Master to the Trapeze Artist – include tickets to the event, recognition in the program and invitations and on-site recognition at the event.

Hop aboard this year as The Circus Comes to Town! Tickets to the event are $75 per person, and they, along with sponsorships, are available by contacting the Doris Gurecky at 281.342.5926 or doris.gurecky@gurecky.com. For more information, visit www.rosenbergrrmuseum.org/gala.
