If anyone has an idea, when this annual event actually started; it would be nice to actually document it somewhere where the records won’t be lost.
If anyone can be “Blamed” for starting it; it would have to be KEN BRUNT, aided and abetted by several other partners in crime, like Ric Golding/Jan Golding, and the partnership of Bruce, and Jean Chandler, and of course, the “Canadian Federal Border Agency”…there are others, who must bear responsibility out there, but this list is getting rather long…!!
How long the Event will continue, is not for me to speculate on… For the last number of years; “The Finger Lakes Live Steamers”, have provided a great “Opportunity” to enjoy the experience of their many scaled layouts, on Monday, the last official day. We thank them for their friendship and generosity.
