Thomas the Tank Engine is set to roll into Hood River for the "Day Out With Thomas 2006: Come Ride the Rails Tour."
The 11th annual U.S. tour visits Hood River as part of a 10-month ride on the rails that steams into heritage railroads in over 40 U.S. cities. Over 1 million passengers are expected to ride with Thomas the Tank Engine, the classic storybook engine, at these events in 2006.
This fun-filled family festival offers preschoolers and their families the opportunity to take a 30-minute ride with Thomas the Tank Engine and is sure to engineer miles of smiles for every guest.
