I am very excited to be able to participate in Locomotion with the LCCA!  Had a nice talk with Al this morning and am looking forward to helping out, having fun, and sharing my experiences.

 

Al said I could bring something to run.  Might have to dig out something fun for the kids and adults alike!

 

Thanks Al for the chance to give back!

I am planning to attend the event on Saturday the 13th.  I haven't seen the Science Center layout since it was in the old Buhl Planetarium.  I hope to bring a friend who is looking to buy a starter set for his 10-year old son for Christmas.  I do not know whether bringing his son will make him hope to get the set or spoil the surprise.    

 

He told me he went to Mercer High School with Forum sponsor Dave Minarik of Mercer Junction Train Shoppe, so that is who he will buy the set from.  While Dave can get him going, this event looks like it would be good for him to attend.

 

Al, I hope to meet you there as well!
