It’s almost that time of year again! Thomas the Tank Engine is headed to Kansas City. He will stop, as usual, in Baldwin City, Kansas (just southwest of Johnson County, KS) for two weekends with the Midland Railway. Upcoming local dates are May 29 through 31 and June 5 through 7.

If you’ve never been to a Day Out with Thomas, your kids are in for a treat. There is a full size Thomas the Tank Engine – and the biggest treat of the day is a 25 minute train ride. But it’s not just a train ride – there is a festival atmosphere. Huge Lego tables and train tables for the kids to play with. Storytelling, live music and play areas as well as a real live Sir Topham Hatt round out the day. (They also have concessions, souvenirs and, most importantly, some tented areas to escape the sun.)

Tickets are on sale now. You can save $2 off the regular $18 price by ordering before May 1st. The event is rain or shine and advance purchase is highly recommended. Visit www.ticketweb.com/dowt for more info on tickets.
