Words from Cool-Bow
I was really excited that I have not seen dancing trains before. However, it rained at the beginning of the dancing show and violinists were all soaked.
What a vital Saturday was! I asked parents to take me to the Roundhouse in the early morning and I saw many people gathering over there! We could tell how attractive the trains could be. Everyone could hardly wait to watch the show
