DON'T MISS THE ROAMING TRAIN AT TOUCH A TRUCK

Spend a beautiful day on Niantic Bay, attending the Ninth East Lyme Auxiliary Child and Family Agency’s Touch-A-Truck on Saturday, May 21, 2016, from 9 am to 2pm at McCook Point Park in Niantic. Rain date is Sunday, May 22.

One of the most popular activities is the ROAMING RAILROAD. This trackless railroad is a true family attraction since it was custom built to accommodate both children and adults. Serving the entire Northeast, the Roaming Railroad, based out of Suffield, CT, is thought by all to be New England’s nicest trackless train. Be sure to say hello to Engineer Dan DeCosmo, who will entertain riders with comedy, train songs, and inspirational routines like The Little Train that Could.

Tickets are $2.00/person to ride the train.

To attend the event, there will be a $4.00 per person donation (ages 3 and up) to benefit the Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut. Children

Two and under are admitted free of charge.

Child & Family’s mission is to promote the well-being and development of all children and their families, in particular to give priority to the unmet needs of children lacking physical, emotional and intellectual care and nurturing.

Programs deal with child abuse prevention, the treatment of family violence, teen pregnancy, children's health care, childcare, parent education and children’s mental health. Last year families were served in 67 towns in New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, the Child & Family Agency service region.
