From the Sun City/Huntley (Ill.) online newsletter comes this announcement of the holiday schedule of the Kishwaukee Valley – Eakin Creek Model Railroad Club. This model and garden railroad display is outstanding.


"The Kishwaukee Valley-Eakin Creek Model Railroad Club of Sun City has announced the running dates for this year's Holiday Display. Trains will be running in the Prairie Lodge Social Lounge from Friday Nov. 23, 2012 (the day after Thanksgiving) through Friday Dec. 28, 2012. In general, weekday running times will be from 11 am until 3 pm. and weekend running times will be from 11 am until 5 pm and this includes the Friday after Thanksgiving. On some days we may have extended hours dependant on other activities in the Lodge.

"Once again we will sponsor a raffle for 3 Lionel trains. This year's model will be a Lionel Bluebird O gauge train set. The raffle will be held on Sunday Dec 23 at 3 PM. and winners need not be present. So bring your kids, grandkids and cameras and spend some time enjoying the season and our trains.

"The Railroad Club is proud to sponsor this Holiday tradition and we invite all Sun City residents, their family and friends, as well as residents of neighboring communities, to this annual tradition. The event is free but we do ask that all children be accompanied by an adult.
