Welcome aboard this tour of our garden railroads. Our hobby lets us play in and share the pleasure of our northwest gardens with family and friends. Last year we opened these gardens to our Puget Sound neighbors and were delighted with the response. Our favorite nurseries, garden supply centers and hobby shops reported to us that you were asking whether the event be repeated. We had such fun last time that the answer had to be a resounding, "Yes!".

Your hosts have worked hard to prepare for Public Days. They are delighted to answer your questions about their gardens, their trains and the hobby as a whole, so ask freely. We're practicing up for the 26th National Garden Railway Convention we're hosting in Tacoma in August 2010. Then there will be garden railroads to tour from Portland to Vancouver, BC, helpful clinics, and vendors from around the country. Visit our website at www.psgrs.org to learn more.

If you wonder whether this hobby fits your family, test it out with our Public Days special: Join PSGRS for $5.00 for the whole family for the rest of the year. There are still a variety of meetings that will give you a chance to get the full flavor of membership. (Our newsletter will keep you posted.) You may discover you enjoy it so much you'll stay. Train ownership is not required for you to have a great time.

We trust you will enjoy your journey with us this weekend.

Glenn Shadduck,
