We took the family down to Eldon for Gothic Days on Saturday the 13th. We got to see a nice parade and the kids came home with more candy then any of them could eat and this mother wouldn't be able to afford the dentist bill. We watched Grandpa drive his convertible with the RagTops and the Church had a great book sale.
Later on we went to see the train which they have been renovating. Talking to one their past train engineers their goal is to rent the train overnight and have people stay in it since they installed 4 different beds for people to stay in. It looks great so far. You will not be able to take a train ride but it's well worth a stop not only can you look at it but you can walk through it.
Our final stop was the American Gothic Museum. Not only can you see the house that inspired American Gothic painted by Grant Wood you can even strike a pose in front of the house and dress up like the models in the painting. Look closely at the painting can you find more than one pitch fork?
