SML Model Railroad Group's 6th Annual Open House a Success

Members of the Smith Mountain Lake Model Railroad Group present a check for “Charity Chug” proceeds to Mike Bond of Lake Christian Ministries. Over $2300 was generously given by those who attended the train layout tour and the modelers themselves. Over 600 SML-area children will be served by LCM’s “A Child’s Christmas” project, according to Bond. Pictured are (L to R) Bob Ford, Dave Phelps, Bond, Ken Salley, Bob Longman and Jim Caskie. Ford, Salley and Longman were among the seven modelers who were able to showcase their hobby during the event, which was shortened to one day by wintry weather.
