DECEMBER 2006 Members Tour



December 2, 2006

Dec. 2nd saw 15 of Santa’s finest helpers (from Tampa Bay and the Sarasota Club)
gather in the late afternoon to set up a display at the Florida Botanical Gardens to
open their “Seasonal Sensations” celebration. Don Odle secured a spot in the center
of the Wedding Chapel area which had a lot of traffic flowing through it all night.
We started set up at 3:00PM and everything was up and running well before the
5:00PM starting time. We even had a new display added by Don Koeller which
showed off his theme train celebrating many holidays in the year.

Kids of all ages came by to see the trains and spend time rekindling memories and
making new ones. Sponge Bob and Thomas were there to entertain and help create
those memories.

<>  Our thanks goes to all who helped with set up, running of trains and talking with the visitors.
If all goes well, we’ll be back next year with something even better.
