    Join Cleveland Metroparks for the annual, free
    �Train Day� event on Saturday, June 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at
    CanalWay Center in Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation in Cuyahoga
    Hts., just below the massive, 2,000-foot long bridge that carries
    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.



    For more information, call 216-206-1000 or visit
    clevelandmetroparks.com.



    Train lovers young and old can enjoy �Train Day� in Cleveland
