'Tis the season for pumpkins and pumpkin train rides.
Now through October 21, Northwest Ohio Railroad Preservation on the north side of Findlay is running a family-friendly "pumpkin train' ride. Riders also have an opportunity to buy a pumpkin for seasonal decorating or maybe even baking a pie. Cotton candy and lemon shake-ups are also available to add to the festivities.
Richard Moed was among those riding the pumpkin train and taking home a pumpkin this weekend.
“And so it is that Simon—whom Jesus renames Peter, meaning “rock”—
becomes Jesus’s first disciple.”
