NETS Train Show The North East Train Society (NTES) held its

train shown on a cold and snowy November 10.

Attendance started off good for the first hour,

then the snow started and the show slowed

down. Over all the show was still a success with

showing a profit, which was shared with the De-

pot. We wish to thank all our members who

helped with the show and our tables.

Handmade Market On a cool Fall day, the Painesville Rail-

road Museum held its third annual Hand-

made Market. With 15 vendors and 24 ta-

bles we were at our maximum. Mother

Nature gave a cool dry day and the guest

came out. We had a very steady crowd all

day long. All our vendors did very well,

and are asking to come back next year.

I wish to thank all of our members who

help with this event and especially Steph-

ani and Rob Romig.

Ghost Hunt On a brisk November evening, with almost a full

moon, an enthusiastic group of 15 gathered at

the Painesville Railroad Museum to investigate

any paranormal activities. Led by Cathi Weber, a

psychic and Theresa Argie from the Haunted

Housewives, the investigation started around 9

pm. We had our tent set up outside with our fire

pit in full blast and hot coffee, hot chocolate and

donuts for our guests.

Lots of things happened at once. The Rem pod

was going off when placed down in the corner of

the ladies waiting area. It very rarely goes off.

People felt drawn to the ladies area all night. A

strange image

was captured

on someone’s

camera that

looks like a

man crouch-

ing down.
