On Saturday, May 19, 2001 the J. S. Acker Children's Festival was held at the Prescott Public
Library. This is an annual festival for children with a costume contest, clowns, youth performing
arts, family fun and exhibition booths. The Prescott Canyon Southern Garden Railroad was
invited to attend and set up a working layout for kids of all ages to experience "Trains R Fun".
An 8x18 foot G gauge oval with 2 sidings was set up on the floor where 3 trains were able to run.
One R/C unit and 2 battery operated trains. The following images show the involvement and
fascination children and adults alike have with trains.

youngster and his dad.

R/C control.

Kids,
balloons,
Moms, face
painting and
trains.

Fascination......

This young man just couldn't take his
eyes off the trains.

Even the
girls
enjoyed
operating
the whistle
and the bell
on the R/C
controls.

Then there's the "up close and
personal"

There's
something
magnetic about
trains running.
Many parents
were as
fascinated as the
children.
