Linn Creek Tragedy....

If you have not yet heard, Woodland Scenics in Linn Creek (MO) caught on fire on the 5th of this month. The fire burned and/or destroyed about half of the factory buildings...NO-ONE was injured (thank-God). For those of you who dont know WS has been making terrain supplies for the hobby industry for decades, such as static grass, flock, ballast, trees, mold-making, railroad accessories, etc.. There are other companies that produce these things but "Woodland" is one of the oldest (and the best), and all other companies products are judged against their high standard. My heart goes out to ANY victim of fire (I am a childhood survivor of a house fire)...and my thoughts and prayers are with the families that are employed by such a great company. I hope that they will recover from this VERY soon!! For more info you can check out www.woodlandscenics.com ...and if you can leave them an e-mail wishing them well I am positive it will be greatly appreciated! For me personally I will show my support by continuing to purchase their outstanding products as I have done for 20 years (almost) !! Good luck WOODLAND!! and keep up the great work!!

Yes, this is a tragedy. I can relate to this as well being a survivor, My thoughts go out to all of those involved in this and on a related note in Paulding, OH the Rusty Nail Restaurant burnt down today at 2pm. This old landmark was a motel originally and was converted to a Restaurant by my family. Although it hasn't been in operation in several years it is still owned by them. Again, My Thoughts and Prayers go out to all of you.
