Reading on the Rails Event Planned

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will host its family-friendly Reading on the Rails event on Saturday, March 7. Story times will begin at 10:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 2 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.

Among the museum's historic trains, children will hear stories about trains, railroads, and more and receive a sticker after each story. They may create a suitcase design using the stickers, along with crayons and other trimmings. Smilebuilderz For Kidz has supplied toothbrushes and travel-size toothpastes, and AAA Central Penn has supplied colorful luggage tags for the suitcases.

Readers will include Barry Kornhauser, assistant director of arts campus and community engagement at Millersville University; state Rep. Bryan Cutler; Regina Ahn, morning traffic and breaking news anchor; Esther McBride, librarian at Strasburg-Heisler Library; Fran Rodriguez, senior program officer at Lancaster County Community Foundation; and Patrick Morrison, director of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

Representatives from Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services and Operation Lifesaver will be on hand throughout the day.
