This community event is sponsored by the Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council (GMVUAC) with a special thanks to Rock Creek Sports for donating their facilities to host this family event. The Train Show has proven to be a delight to local families for decades. It is educational, entertaining and enjoyable for children and adults alike.
Attendees will be able to appreciate various scale exhibits presented by model railroad clubs from the Puget Sound area. Spectators can move around the displays at their own pace, checking out the trains, conversing and obtaining information from model railroaders. The GMVUAC also hosts a play area where families can create their own unique Thomas the Train layouts with blocks and legos.
Pioneers of Black Diamond, Franklin, Hobart, Maple Valley, Palmer, Ravensdale, Selleck and Taylor tamed the Wilderness to build the communities we live in today. The Black Diamond Historical Society will be providing historical exhibits highlighting this history, with emphasis on railroading in the Pacific Northwest.
There will be door prizes awarded hourly. Maybe you will have one of the lucky tickets! Parking is free and plentiful so COME ON DOWN! This is an event you don’t want to miss.
Suggested donation: Adults $5.00; Children ages 3 – 11, $2.00.
