They’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight
Shunting trucks and hauling freight
Red and green and brown and blue
They’re the really useful crew
Yup, it’s that time again. Thomas the Tank Engine is making his annual visit to scenic Perris, California, specifically to the Orange Empire Railway Museum on the weekends of November 10-12 and 17-19. I invite you to come out and visit Thomas.
We’ll be volunteering at the museum on November 11 and 12. If you come out to spend a Day Out with Thomas that weekend, please come by and say “Hi”. Alas, our assignments this year are not that varied. On Saturday, November 11, I’ll be a host out at Middleton the last shift, and gf_guruilla will be working the giftshop (NSS&F will be entertaining her cousins). On Sunday, November 12, I’ll be a Thomas Host all day, gf_guruilla will be at the gift shop, and NSS&F will be a host in the kid’s area. I know they are still looking for volunteers to help–if that interests you, comment here or drop me an email, and I’ll get the appropriate folks in touch with you.
Orange Empire is located at 2201 S. A Street in Perris. It is easily accessible from either I-215 or Route 74, and is about ½ hour S of Riverside. C’mon by and say “Hi”. You might also get to meet the illusive larymotrmn; I’m sure he’ll chime in here with his schedule. Hopefully, it won’t be as cold as it was in November 2004.
