Michael “The Train Man” Lavrich returns to the Downtown Bend Library to share his extensive collection of model trains. This is the seventeenth year Lavrich has displayed his trains at the library, making it a cherished tradition for two generations of Central Oregonians.

All ages are invited to watch and listen as the trains chug and whistle their way around the tracks. Lavrich's collection represents running trains of the 1920s and '30s made by Lionel, Dorfan, Ives and American Flyer. Trains will run December 17–21, but running times vary by day:

• December 17: noon–5:00 p.m.
• December 18: noon–5:00 p.m.
• December 19: 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
• December 19: 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
• December 20: 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
• December 20: 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.
• December 21: 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
• December 21: 5:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.

This free event will be held in the Brooks Room of the Downtown Bend Library.
