Vision 2020, Civic Pride Committee presented a certificate of appreciation to Sandi Ward, owner of Sandi Ward’s Train Stop business for sponsoring one of the replanted pots along Central Avenue.

Sandi has lived in Fillmore for 32 years and has owned & operated her Train Stop business, which is located in one of the vintage train cars along side City Hall, for nearly 10 years. In fact, on July 4, 2013, she will celebrate her 10th year of operation.

Sarah Hansen had told Sandi about our committee’s effort to replant the Central Avenue pots with re, white & blue flowers, so Sandi agreed to become a sponsor. She is one citizen that gets involved in the betterment of her community, having also sponsored a peace pole brick & other projects.

Her vintage train shop has historical information on the freight car inside and antiques, collectibles and many things with “Fillmore” printed on them, toy trains & US made whistles, engineer hats, t-shirts, and wooden trains. It is an interesting place to take children & visiting family for photo opportunities also.

Her shop is open Friday, Saturday, & Sunday from 10:00 am until 4 pm. During the Christmas season, she is open extended hours when the trains are running.
