Riverbend Railroad

The Riverbend Railroad Club is quite a group.  They put on one of the most wonderful railroad displayed I've ever seen.  They should be proud of all the work they've done in presenting their railroad.

It takes  these railroad club members 2 hours to set up their display every Saturday. 

Caroling at Riverbend

We had a wonderful time caroling throughout the resort.  About 30 golf carts, 1 walker with her puppy and 1 pickup truck full of family participated in singing at six different stops within the resort.  We ended at the railroad and went into the Riverbend Clubhouse for cookies and music.  Sure puts a person "in the spirit".

3 Carolers and a parrot!
