Despite some rainy weather, the Depot Day annual fundraiser was held Saturday at the Orange Train Depot Museum grounds on Green Avenue.
It was January 2014 when the Friends of the Orange Depot was founded with plans to renovate the historic Southern Pacific Depot for the community.
Last weekend’s event helped celebrate everything that has been accomplished so far.
Model trains were on display inside the depot, along with plenty of food and family attractions.
