Don’t Miss the Roaming Railroad at East Lyme Touch A Truck

An event to remember- Excitement and Family Fun!

by June Hoye

Spend a beautiful day on Niantic Bay in East Lyme, attending the Thirteenth Touch-A-Truck of Thames West Auxiliary of Child and Family Agency on Saturday, May 21, 2022, from 9 am to 2pm at McCook Point Park in Niantic. There will be a Horn Free Hour from 9 to 10 a.m. especially for the younger set and for noise-sensitive children.

One of the most popular activities is the ROAMING RAILROAD. This trackless railroad is a true family attraction since it was custom built to accommodate both children and adults. Serving the entire Northeast, the Roaming Railroad, based out of Suffield, CT, is thought by all to be New England’s nicest trackless train. Be sure to say hello to Engineer Dan DeCosmo, who will entertain riders with comedy, train songs, and inspirational routines like The Little Train that Could.

Tickets to ride the train are $3.00/person.

The suggested donation for entrance is $5 per person (ages 2 and up) to benefit Child and Family Agency of Southeastern CT, Inc., which has been at the forefront of social service development in southern and eastern Connecticut since 1972. The Agency’s services are changing the lives of 7,400 children, families, and adults annually through behavioral and physical health care services, childcare, and family resources.

Additional information can be found on the Agency’s website, www.childandfamilyagency.org; or by calling Child and Family-860-437-4550, ext. 1406. Follow us on Facebook- Touch a Truck East Lyme, CT;
