Thomas the Tank Engine is Rolling into St. Thomas Ontario July 2016 {Giveaway}

Thomas the Tank Engine fans, have I got a deal for you! (and I’m not even Monty Hall – am I dating myself here?). If your kids love Thomas and friends, there is nothing more exciting than getting to actually ride on the Thomas train! Even as an adult, I have to say it’s really fun. You just can’t help but smile when you see all the kids’ beaming faces, their eyes lighting up as Thomas rolls into view.

Thomas The Tank returns to Elgin County Railway Museum on July 16 and 17 and again July  22 through the  24th for the annual Day out with Thomas event. Proceeds from the tour’s St. Thomas stop, benefit the Elgin County Railway Museum.  This will be the 12th consecutive year the non-profit organization has hosted the Day Out With Thomas event in the city. I’ve been…hmmm is it 3 or 4 years in a row now?….and every single time has been a blast.

This fun-filled event offers children and their families the opportunity to take a ride with Thomas the Tank Engine, star of the popular Thomas & Friends™ series. BUT it’s not just a train ride – although seriously, that is pretty cool. Besides riding on the train, your family can meet Sir Topham Hatt, Controller of the Railway and enjoy a day of Thomas-themed activities.
