My Trip to Orrville Ohio: In October of 2007, my business had me taking a trip to Orrville, Ohio.  I didn’t have much time to be a tourist, but managed to get these points of interest:

                         

Here is Orrville’s old depot, which does have a heritage type museum inside. 

It wasn’t open when I was there, but you can check them out at:

This tower was next door.

 

                    

Orrville is best known as the home of Smucker’s Jams and Jellies.  Nice place worth checking out.

2008 Santa Train, Janesville, WI

I was dropping my son off at the Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Janesville, WI when I spotted at the Wisconsin Southern yards this scene of them preparing the Christmas Train. 

(I wasn’t prepared with my camera and ended up using my cell phone for these pictures.)
