Join Cleveland Metroparks for the annual, free
�Train Day� event on Saturday, June 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at

more than 40 trains a day across the valley.
Kids, as well as adults, can enjoy model train exhibits inside
and out, railroad organizations and vendors, guided trestle hikes,
kids depot play area with train toys and videos, crafts and face
painting, a DJ playing railroad and summertime favourites, and
more!
Plus, enjoy a kid's trackless train ride ($1/person), EarthWords
Nature Shop selling unique train items, and refreshments for
sale. And, the first 1,000 kids will receive a free train
whistle, too!
Event-goers can say �hello� to �Conrad the Conductor� as he
welcomes everyone along the stroll down the Hobo Trail to discover
what life was like for America'straveling workers, seeing hobo
codes through the hobo signs and striking up a conversation with
the �hobos' at their camp.
CanalWay Center is located on Whittlesey Way, off the East
49th Street entrance of Ohio & Erie Canal
Reservation, between Grant Avenue and Canal Road in Cuyahoga
Heights - just off the I-77/Grant Avenue exit.
