Every cent guests donated during Silverwood Theme Park's historic train ride this summer contributed to a $100,000 gift to Canopy Village, delivered Wednesday by park staff.
Sara Meddock, the park's public relations manager, said nearly $33,000 was raised from patrons during the infamously staged Steam Engine No. 7 train robbery show. Silverwood founders Gary and Jeanne Norton matched that amount and then some, bringing the total to $100,000.
