Michael Lavrich and his beloved train disp lay are back at the Downtown Bend Library with the help of his son\, Kiera n\, and long-time helpers Parker Gerard and Grace Lickwar.

\n

This ma rks Lavrich's twenty-first year displaying his trains at the library\, mea ning children who first watched the trains run years ago may now have chil dren of their own with whom they share this family tradition. Lavrich bega n collecting trains more than 20 years ago. While the public only sees the display once it's all up and running\, the set-up involves a lot of backg round work. "I pretty well dedicate December to this\," Lavrich says. "It' s a three day set-up and a four day take-down\, and there are a few weeks on each end at home." Thank you Michael for sharing your wonderful collect ion with us.

\n


All ages are invited to watch and listen as the trains run. Lavrich's collection represents trains of the 1920s and '30s made by Lionel\, Dorfan\, Ives and American Flyer.
