Our first public run day of the year is this Saturday. We are expecting a good turnout of members and visitors. To be prepared for the turnout please try and arrive as early as possible so we can make sure the tents, signs, concessions, and trains are setup and ready to go. We know of two groups coming on Saturday with the first being a birthday party and the other being a class from Flint Elementary school. Here are a few check list items for Saturday:

1. Make sure you bring a lunch and plenty to drink.

2. If you have a two-way radio, please bring them.

3. If you are planning on pulling passengers with either a club or personal train, please make sure you let Peter and Robby know.

4. Lunch and run day meeting will start at 11:30

5. Flint Elementary School group of about twenty will be arriving at 12:30 and we will be letting them in to see the railroad and ask questions as we finalize getting everything ready.

6. We will be introducing the use of a PA system at the station this year. The goal is to make sure everyone hears instructions while in line and while getting on a train.

7. Conductors, please make sure you are actively involved in loading a train, so we do not overload riding cars or trains.

I am sure I am forgetting something other than see everyone on Saturday and looking forward to seeing all of the smiling faces around the railroad.
