Tickets for $15 per person go
on sale to SITU and the General Public via Internet on Sept 15th.
(See below...)
Organizers anticipate a quick sell-out.
A FREE ride would be provided to SITU Members who are dressed in
Victorian 1890's-Edwardian attire, willing to "work the line" (greeting
passengers waiting to board the train) and share SITU knowledge &
information about historical attire with the children and families also
riding the train. Unfortunately, to take advantage of the free
ride, there will be no reserved seating. It would be a
walk-the-aisles to "meet & greet". If you want to to be
comfortably seated round trip, you will need to purchase a ticket in
advance on Sept 15.
If you are unable to ride that Saturday, there is a opportunity of
another train or two on Sunday, tho there may be fewer SITU members
interested in Sunday...
If you'd like to participate in this FUN Dress-up Opportunity,
please be sure to register your interest with
Lady Victoria (so she knows how
many will be coming) and then purchase your ticket on
September 15th!
"Watch your step, ladies and gents. We're bound for fun on the
rails!!!!!"

Have you always yearned for a
slower time in history and love the story of "Tiny Tim"? Do you
love to candle-light parades? Do you love to listen to those
holiday choirs sing?
This is a Festival for YOU!
Last year, the "Dickens Ball" sold out quickly at
only $30 per person.
It included an English turkey dinner and roast beef, Yorkshire pudding,
salad and trifles!
"Best Costume Awards" are also handed out. There is usually a band
to play dance music.
If you are interested in more
details or possibly carpooling to Tacoma, please email
Lady Victoria.
