DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Great Falls Model Railroad Club will host our annual ExTRAINaganza, a seasonal fundraiser, at 144 Mill St. in Auburn on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 29 and 30 and Dec.1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This event celebrates the joy of model railroading while supporting the club’s efforts in promoting this beloved hobby. Our clubhouse will be transformed into a beautiful winter wonderland, offering a festive atmosphere for visitors of all ages.

In addition to showcasing our stunning model train layouts, we’ll have activities specifically for children, including the opportunity to step into the role of a guest engineer and run a train themselves on our layout! It’s a wonderful way to spark the imaginations of young visitors and introduce them to the fun of model railroading.

Your support in spreading the word about ExTRAINaganza helps us continue our mission of preserving and sharing the model railroading hobby with the community. We hope to see you there! — Bryn, no town
