What do trains, planes and clowns have in common?
They're all celebrating Terrific Tuesdays!
November 29 is our final-event Terrific Tuesday. Model railroads, jet fighters, and face painting clowns provide something for everyone.
The Ocala Model Railroaders' train layout measures 4' wide by 8' long and includes two complete trains. This folding-leg set was built to be raffled off at this year's "Trains at the Holidays" which runs December 13 - 30 at the College of Central Florida's Weber Center Gallery.
Also on display will be a 3' x 6' diorama depicting a steam powered saw mill during the early 1900s, along with a few smaller dioramas and some railroad themed artist prints.
The International Plastic Modelers Society (IPMS), Region 11, invites you to come and meet their model builders. During this Hobby of Plastic Model Building, visitors can discuss the art of building with members of IPMS Ocala and IPMS/Fast (Florida Auto & Scale Truck). The FAST group builds only cars and trucks and is a newly formed chapter.
Actual model building will be in progress. For anyone interested in the hobby, IPMS offers the "ABC" -- Adult Building Course -- a six-week national course that takes you through the various steps to complete a quality model. Cost is minimal.
Want to try using an air brush? A spray booth will be set up where you can try your hand with acrylic or water base paint.
Make-N-Take will be available to young and old alike. Complete a model plane or car that you'll be proud of. They promise it will look great when you're finished.
Information to join a local chapter will be available. The 2012 IPMS National Convention will be held August 8 - 11 at Disney's Contemporary Resort Convention Center in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
And clowns. Did I mention clowns? Face painting clowns, of course. Paula Magen, aka Sunflower, and a buddy or two will design special face decoration just for you and the kids. You won't look the same when you leave!
Sponsored by the Friends of Freedom Public Library, Terrific Tuesdays mean terrific events at the library from 2 to 5 p.m., Tuesdays only, throughout November.
Sounds like fun.
