When I wished Steve Cryan a happy holiday at his 28th year Holiday train show, he responded “it’s always happy here bringing smiles to all the children’s faces. “
A worthwhile visit to meet Steve (who is pictured as a child above one of the train sets). He added, he always liked those patriotic socks.
He even goes to the effort of creating an “ISpy” game – one easy and one hard. It was very well executed to keep your attention and focus on all the detail Steve incorporates.
Adorable! Genuine!
Food Recommendations: I grabbed a soup and sandwich from Olive Oyl before my visit. if you want something more in the spirit, I highly recommend the Griswold Inn.
The town of Essex in general is filled with history and folklore and wonderful shops. Take the time to walk down it’s Main Street regardless of where you chose to eat.
