Family-friendly pumpkin train ride in nearby Findlay
Story and photos by Ken Collins
'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.
