Spring 2016 Open House & Train Show Next Weekend

We\’re right around the corner from this year\’s Spring Open House & Train Show, Saturday April 9th and Sunday April 10th, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM both days.  Our G&O team has been working diligently to update some systems and landscaping and the HO crew has been making some great improvements inside to keep all our trains running smoothly over our 4,000+ feet of scale track!  We welcome you to our 117-year-old Southern Pacific Depot in Thrasher Park.  Please feel free to download our flyers and share them with your local community: Color Flyer or Black & White Flyer

As usual, our members will be holding a bake sale with terrific cookies, brownies, and other baked goodies and a small table with donated items for sale to benefit the Society.  Baked goodies range from 50¢ to $1.00 depending on the specialty and donated items are priced as valued.  As always, our members are happy to tell you about the items for sale and help you pick the delightful sweets that will really hit the spot.

We still have a few SLHRS logo baseball-style caps for sale ($12.00) with proceeds, as always, benefiting the Society.

We\’ll also be bringing back our kids\’ photos with Thomas souvenirs for $5.00 each.  That $5.00 donation will fetch you a 4\” x 6\” color glossy souvenir photo of your child posing with our pop-up Thomas the Tank Engine and Annie or Clara passenger cars in a protective display envelope.  As always, all funds from these fundraisers will be going towards the San Leandro Historical Railway Society, which is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit.  We will have mobile credit card processing available so cash and card will be accepted.  If you\’d like a receipt as all donations are tax deductible, one can be made available to you.

We look forward to seeing you all and sharing all the progress we\’ve made in our Museum, the HO scale interior model, and the outside garden G&O gauge railway.
