Railroad Days
I'm not in the position to mention much about Railroad Days, which came and went last week, because 1) I'm very busy with family these days, and they were booked so solid over the weekend that we never even went; and 2) I was actually grateful, since I'm not one for cotton candy or carney games which is where such things utlimately lead. I've had twelve kids and almost all of them got sucked into carnivals at one time or another and I'm beginning to have a bad attitude.
There are other things besides carney things, though, and unfortunately I missed those too. Train shows is to me the best example. I like those, just didn't have time.
One thing I noticed was that it didn't have much social media or online presence. As late as the day before it started, I couldn't find a schedule online and when I finally did, I couldn't read it well. Somebody had dropped the social media ball. But I took that as a challenge. Obviously they need volunteers, and this is something I could do.
Hopefully next year! See you then!
