ASHLAND, Ky. — The 32nd annual Festival of Trees and Trains kicks off Friday at the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland.

Also featured is the largest G-Scale temporary layout on public display in the country, which is more than 3,000 square feet, with more than 600 feet of track, spanning two stairwells and the balcony seats of the Paramount.
