On the same day the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City celebrated its 35th anniversary, it received a very special gift to honor that milestone.

It’s arguably Boulder City’s biggest event of the year, drawing tens of thousands of people to town and has been doing so for more than 60 years.

For nearly a decade, Dr. Christina Vela has not only been the CEO of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children but often a pseudo-mom to many boys and girls who have call the Ranch home. This has come by way of offering a sympathetic ear, the proverbial shoulder to cry on or being their biggest cheerleader.

The Boulder City Hospital last week received a pleasant surprise. Actually, more than 2.6 million surprises to be exact.
