On Sunday, October 30th the Arbuckle Revitalization Committee
hosted their 9th Annual Car Show and Depot BBQ. The weather was
absolutely gorgeous for the 260 entries and approximately 800 spectators for the days show. DJ , Rick Alexander, set the mood throughout the day with music from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s along with musical performances by Pierce High School students. As usual the tri-tip
bbq lunch was delicious and enjoyed by many. For the third year in a
row the California Northern Engine rolled into Arbuckle sounding its
whistle and spent the day letting spectators climb on board and tour
the engine. This feature of the is a favorite among kids and adults and a
big “Thanks” goes out to Tim and Adam, the train’s engineers, for
donating their time to make the event extra special.

Little League Opening Ceremonies
By
Dianna G. Voorhees, ARC Board Member
The Arbuckle Little League celebrated the beginning of their 2012
season on March 23rd.
Teams/coaches were introduced, hit-a-thon winners announced,
raffle prizes awarded, and the "first pitch" was thrown by Ken Young.
The ARC Board of Directors wish all of the teams and their Coaches,
a fun filled season, and want to express our graditude to the many
volunteers, who do an outstanding job!
GRAFFITI IS UGLY
The Colusa County Sheriff’s Department continues to work with ARC to help combat “Graffiti”
in Arbuckle. It is very important to get graffiti covered as soon as possible after a tagging. Before it
can be covered and/or removed the Sheriff’s Department must be notified so that they can document
the area by taking pictures. It is the goal of ARC to get the graffiti cleaned up as soon as possible but
since we are all volunteers it unfortunately sometimes takes longer than we’d like. If you spot graffiti
please call the Sheriff’s Department(458-0200) to report (you can report anonymously) it. They will
then contact the property owner and the ultimate goal is that the owner will take the responsibility to
clean up their property. If not, then volunteers from the community will step in and do the work. Graffiti is “UGLY” and it is not only an embarrassment to the residents of Arbuckle but also when visitors
drive through our town, so let’s work together to combat this issue…..
