A decent crowd turned out for an annual model train show at the Clay County Regional Events Center on Saturday. Hosted by the Prairie Lakes Division National Model Railroad Association, this marked the second time Spencer was the host. The Smoky Mountain Railroad exhibit stayed open in The Depot building on the Clay County Fairgrounds with volunteers running the show throughout the day.

Fans of the Smoky Mountain Central Railroad exhibit won’t have to wait until the next Clay County Fair to see the model. Saturday, the Clay County Regional Events Center will host an annual model train show from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Prairie Lakes Division National Model Railroad Association holds two railroad shows every year. This will be the second year the fall show is held in Spencer.
