SUMMARY:Historic SP 745 Lager Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Event: Historic SP 745 Lager Release Party\nDate: Sept 25\, 2022\nTime: 11:30 AM\nLocation: Port Orleans Brewery Co.\n4124 Tchoupitoulas St.\nNew Orleans\, LA 70115  (Map) \n \n  \nPort Orleans Brewing Co. will unveil a new brew\, Historic SP 745 Lager\, with a festive beer release party on Sunday\, September 25th. \nCome enjoy Historic SP 745 Lager and support the non-profit Louisiana Steam Train Association (LASTA). Historic SP 745 Lager will help fund LASTA and its 100-year-old steam locomotive. \n \nSouthern Pacific #745 (SP 745) was built at SP’s Algiers\, Louisiana shops in 1921 and is the sole surviving Louisiana-built steam locomotive. SP 745 is on the National Register of Historic Places and is Louisiana’s Official Steam Locomotive. SP 745 served as a workhorse for the Southern Pacific Railroad hauling freight as well as pulling troop trains during World War II. \nAfter 28 years on static display in Audubon Park\, in 1984\, Audubon’s plan to expand its zoo necessitated the removal of the engine. A group of local rail enthusiasts rescued 745 from a sure fate to the scrap yard. After many years\, she was eventually rebuilt. In 2004 she became a one-of-a-kind living\, breathing\, steaming\, rolling and truly iconic example of Louisiana railroad history. \n \nThe Historic SP 745 Lager release party begins at 11:30 am. Come celebrate and stay to watch the Saints\, on the road\, as they battle the Panthers on several big-screen TVs. \nWe hope you will join us for a fun day in support of a worthy historical cause and help LASTA in its quest to continue operating SP 745 for years to come. \n

SUMMARY:LASTA / GTM Presents the Two Scotts
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \nJoin us in Garyville for a fun-filled evening of live music and great company featuring The Two Scotts. Hailing from New Orleans\, this is no laid-back acoustic duo quietly playing in the background. While The Two Scotts deliver strong\, engaging acoustic numbers\, they also know how to turn up the energy. Their blend of electric guitars\, guitar synthesizers and backing drum tracks\, creates a dynamic sound that fills the room and keeps the crowd engaged. \n\nThose who have seen them live know there is something special on stage: infectious chemistry\, a diverse mix of songs\, and a performance style that keeps the night moving. Join us for a lively evening at The Bank for a show you will not want to miss.\nThis event supports the future of the Garyville Timbermill Museum and the Louisiana Steam Train Association (LASTA). \nPurchase tickets below—
