The Santa Barbara Public Library System presents “Holiday Festival of Trains” at the Goleta library for a special 3-day holiday display. People of all ages are invited to enjoy a sampling of Dave Halbeisen’s extensive model train collection. Model trains will chug around tracks on a very large table display in the Multipurpose Room at the Goleta Library, 500 North Fairview. The trains will be on display Friday, December 7 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, December 8 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 9 from 1 a.m. to 5p.m.

This is the 22nd year that Dave, a private collector, has shared his wonderful collection of trains, small people and animals, miniature snow covered forests and other scenery for library visitors to enjoy. Other surprises might include a fire station, snow village and a water tower. There will be at least three miniature trains running.
