SOUTH DAYTON – The South Dayton Depot Rail & Movie Museum, which is part of the Amish Trail, will host four hours of events Saturday, Oct. 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In the past the depot has hosted a vintage car show. This year whatever those interested in visiting the museum have to drive, the depot will host a “Drive What You Got” show with prizes to be awarded. Parking is across the street from the depot. A trunk or treat will be set up close to the village square while the Farmers’ Market will have all kinds of baked goods, breads, home made cloth bags, aprons, vegetables, fruits and jams. The Amish Trail special will be a $5 pumpkin pie, along with experienced cooking advice.

For lunch, hot dogs, chips and a cold soft drink will be available while the Mazing Dessert Food Truck will be set up with funnel cakes, frozen dipped cheesecake and cold soft drinks.

Walker’s Creekside Alpaca Farm will be on the Village Square with mama and baby Alpacas. Lacey’s Petting Zoo will be set up next to the South Dayton Fire Department’s Driveway. Amy’s Hand Painted Gnomes will be on the Village Square with all size gnomes and the village library will have a unique book craft for a $10 donation.
