December 2012 Circle Event
Puritas Nursery Holiday Train Garden, 19201 Puritas Avenue, Cleveland
Sunday, December 16 at 3:00 PM
Puritas Nursery presents the tenth annual holiday model train display, capturing the spirit of the season and bringing out the kid in all of us. This year there are 13 trains – three different gauges running on three distinct layouts. The main HO gauge layout is a beautifully landscaped 8’x 30’ table with six trains and two trolleys chugging through hills and valleys of live trees, shrubs, and flowing water. Children delight in using the two carpeted “tunnels” beneath the display as “kids-only” shortcuts to cross from one side of the layout to the other.
Entrance to the train garden is free, but donations are appreciated. Afterwards we can grab some Funkadelic donuts at Peace, Love and Little Donuts. Please RSVP to neirboe@aol.com
