Time Again for Trains
Looking for exciting weekend activities and family-friendly fun? You're in the right place.
The Trainmasters meet at the 4-H center twice a month to share in their passion for trains, and to work on their train projects for upcoming shows. The group's next show will be in June, followed by a summer fair in August. Here, is an example of a Pennsylvania train with an orange refrigerator car.
