Home of OHM: All Aboard for Day out with Thomas

All aboard! Thomas the Tank Engine™ is chugging into a station near you for
Day Out With Thomas™: Mystery On The Rails Tour 2012. Thomas fans are invited to come spend the day with their favorite No. 1 engine. For over 65 years, children have been captivated by the courageous adventures of Thomas and his engine friends. During its 17th consecutive year, Day Out With Thomas will make stops in more than 45 cities in the United States and Canada and is expected to welcome more than one million passengers.

Help our favorite No. 1 engine find the clues and solve the mystery! Thomas the Tank Engine™ is pulling out of the station for Day Out With Thomas™: Mystery On The Rails Tour 2012. Presented by HIT Entertainment and sponsored by MEGA Brands, a leading toy company, Day Out with Thomas is a fun-filled and exciting way for children and adults to enter the world of Thomas & Friends. Day Out With Thomas provides an opportunity for kids to take a ride on a 15-ton replica of Thomas and have their pictures taken with Sir Topham Hatt, the controller of Thomas' railway. The tour provides a unique, interactive family experience at every station, offering a variety of entertaining activities that reflect the local flavor of each stop. Different forms of entertainment - from petting zoos, miniature golf, and bounce houses to face-painting and magic shows - make each Day Out With Thomas event special. In addition, every location has a Thomas & Friends Imagination Station where you can Build with Mega Bloks® and participate in other Thomas-themed activities including stamps, temporary tattoos, hands-on arts and crafts, and a Thomas storytelling and video viewing area.

I'm going to be sending Tabitha out to cover this event on Friday July 13th. This will be the opening day for the Mystery on the Rails Tour at the Elgin County Railway Museum in nearby St Thomas, Ontario. I've told her what an awesome time my family had last year, and she assured me that she'd report back with some sweet pics of their experience to share with you!

The only Canadian stop for Day out with Thomas will be in St Thomas, Ontario the July 13th-15th weekend, and again for the July 20th-22nd weekend. You can get more info and buy tickets HERE.
