Race Car Tire Changing Demos – Meet Drew Cassidy, the Caliche’s Girl race car driver, as she and her team flip racing tires. Pose with her race car and take pictures with a fun meet-and-greet!
Miniature Barn Raising – Help build a western town that will go on exhibit in the museum's model railroad room! Create anything from a sheriff's office to a saloon and watch the tiny town grow as the community makes the model town come alive.
Painting Model Train Cars – Customize a real model train car with stickers, painting, and other supplies to help you design a train car of your own and take home.
