LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY (December 6, 2011) – Once again the front windows of Morgan Outdoors and the Catskill Arts Society (CAS) Gallery were filled with Trains on Main, the annual showing of model trains in Livingston Manor, NY.

And on December 3, there was a grand opening party which included a sing-along with the MountainTones band, a holiday bazaar, a cake and cider celebrating the 40th birthday of the CAS, and a special visit from the jolly old elf himself – Santa Claus.

Since the work of the CAS must go on, even during the festivities, in the back room of the CAS, there was a class being taught by noted artist and author Helena Clare Pittman.

In addition, there was, in the CAS, an expanded train display along with a floor-to-ceiling display of antique toys dating from the 1920s to the 1960s.

The trains and toys will be on display through the month of December.

Here are some photos from the reception. To see more photos or to purchase prints from Trains on Main, visit The Catskill Chronicle on Zenfolio.
