All Aboard!! The Train Man Returns

Michael “The Train Man” Lavrich started sharing his model trains with delighted children—and adults—roughly 25 years ago at the Downtown Bend Library. In the decades since, his annual display of model trains has become a highly anticipated holiday tradition for countless families in Central Oregon. This year Lavrich is back to share the trains with young and old alike.

Please note that the room capacity is limited, so we will bring people in and out in a steady stream according to capacity. The last entry for sessions will be 15 minutes before the end time, so, for example, if a session runs 3–5:30, the last entry will be at 5:15 p.m. (please see below for times). Please be mindful of the people in line and limit all viewing to no more than 20 minutes. And remember, all of this is done thanks to the warm generosity of Michael Lavrich and his team of volunteers: his son, Kieran, and long-time helpers Parker and Grace. Thank you, all!
