You’re never too old to have a little bit of harmless fun at Halloween! Join us for our annual Halloween party for grownups! On Halloween night, Saturday, October 31, we present the Smoky Valley Limited’s “Halloween Spooktacular,” featuring great food and fun, and our second annual costume contest! We’re awarding a meal full refund as the prize for the best costume and we’re offering two Cowtown Santa Express tickets for the most original costume! We’ve got great food from our caterer, Brookville Hotel of Abilene. Enjoy Brookville’s classic three-piece pan fried chicken dinner, with mashed potatoes and gravy, creamed corn, and a cold plate featuring the traditional pickles, sweet and sour coleslaw, and peaches. And for dessert: Brookville’s classic homemade ice cream. Coffee, tea and water will accompany the meal, and popular soft drinks, beer and wine will be available for purchase. Our train trip begins at 6:00 p.m. as we depart Abilene’s historic 1887 Rock Island Depot, for a two-hour journey across the Smoky Hill River Valley with a stop at the Hoffman Mill and General Store in Enterprise, Kansas. It’s “spooktacularly” good fun on the Smoky Valley Limited, the Kansas Heritage Railroad!
