The Kishwaukee Valley & Eakin Creek Model Railroad Club in Sun City Huntley would like to thank all residents, friends and neighbors who supported the club this past holiday season.

Whether you bought raffle tickets, a DVD video or just stopped by to say hello and relive old but fond memories, you helped the club set a new attendance record once again this year. One thing is certain. It's always difficult to figure out who has more fun at the display, the kids squealing with delight or club members enjoying the kids' enthusiasm and excitement. For all this, they thank you.

The club announced the winners of the 2015 annual raffle. They are: Rod Lear, Eli Steele and Brad Miller.

Each contestant won an O scale New York Central Passenger train complete with track and transformer.

Before signing off for the season, they would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the spring open house will be Sunday, May 15, and the Sunday operations will begin Sunday, May 22. Interested patrons can call the club's message center at (847) 669-2392 to learn more about the club. Or check out the Sun City website at sccah.com.
