The White Lake Area Chamber & Visitors Bureau is excited to announce the Caboosentennial celebration, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the 90702 caboose. This event will take place throughout the month of October, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Chamber’s office (124 W Hanson St, Whitehall).
Visitors are invited to step back in time and explore the caboose museum, including the history of how we found and purchased the caboose, and images from 1987 of when it arrived and was placed where it sits today.
Attendees will have the opportunity to capture photos with the iconic caboose, including a fun photo op. Free Caboosentennial stickers will be available for all visitors, while commemorative coasters ($8) and koozies ($10) can be purchased on-site. Local Chamber member Stolan Acres LLC also has a Caboosentennial online store where t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and tumblers can be purchased. Visit www.whitelake.org/caboose100 for more information and to view the store link.
During the month of October, take your photo in front of the caboose with any of your purchased Caboosentennial items (coaster, koozie, shirt, hat, tumbler) and submit it to us for a chance to win $100 in White Lake Area Gift Certificates, which can be used at over 90 local businesses.
We are also collecting 100 photos for 100 years! The caboose has been an iconic backdrop for many special moments over the years. If you have a photo to submit and you’d like us to use for social media and during the event, please email them to [email protected], subject line: Caboose turns 100!
