I am wondering if there's a phone number that I can use to call and ask about this event? Seems hard to find in this website. I have a client from a group home who is very interested in hobby trains and would like to attend the Oct 17th blow down event. We are based in Framingham, MA. So is there a way that we can call? Be advised that we are also Deaf too, so the client and staff will be attending this event, if we can call and find out more information. Thanks. Good afternoon all.

I followed them down to where the road is closed on account of culvert washout just East of Karen Circle (about 30 feet past a WLS arrow pointed right at the trench.. These new signs appear to be the same as the older ones they replaced and are currently invalid as posted in WLS Websight. As you know, there are many, many cars that come that way to go to the show who are NOT members and would Not Know of the culvert washout and road closure. All of the people in Medway (for example) that I've told about the show are Not Club members ($$ donors in the jugs many of them) would continue to follow those direction and would be highly frustrated to hit the "Road Closed" so close to the meet and have to drive all the way back to RT 16. Why NOT a WLS DETOUR sign with 'Arrow" pointing "2 miles on the right" and appropriate 'arrows' along the way to the spot.
