Letter: Thank you to patrons of Toy Train Christmas

A big thank you to all of our patrons who came to the 12th annual Toy Train Christmas at the Northern Pacific Railway Museum in Toppenish. We hear from many people that it has become a tradition with their families.

The event is all about sharing our love of trains, from more than 20 operating scale models to the normal-sized one that takes people to the North Pole and back.

Beyond that, more than 100 adults volunteer before, during, and after the event. There are also more than 60 students from six different high schools who earn collectively over 1,000 hours of community service each holiday season.

Thanks to everyone. Please join us for Toy Train Christmas 2016!

Mary O’Dell, Event Co-Chair, Wapato
