Share

Christopher House, the struggling Ventura AIDS hospice, is inviting its supporters to hop aboard the Short Line Express today for a train ride benefit.

En route from Fillmore to Santa Paula, riders can attend a wine tasting, dine and listen to a banjo, guitar and violin trio.

The Short Line Express departs Fillmore station at 5:30 p.m. and pulls into Santa Paula at 9 p.m. Passengers will also be able to bid on a magnum of chardonnay, a trip to Channel Islands or a session at a local spa, among other items, during a silent auction.
