Friday, the first day of Happy Holidays Railway, seemed to go well. All trains were sold out, so the Museum was busy, but everyone was having a good time. Unfortunately, the fireworks had to be cancelled because the Union Fire Department were afraid that the strong winds might blow burning embers onto the parking lot. They're just being cautious, which is good. I believe yesterday's event will be rescheduled if possible, and we'll see what happens tonight.
Saturday Evening Update: The fireworks certainly went on! They were fired off from our field across Olson Rd. The only webcam that points that way is on Barn 2, so you have to use your imagination, but it must have been spectacular!
Wow! I just noticed that opening weekend for Happy Holidays Railway will feature a fireworks display at 5:45 PM. I love fireworks - who doesn't - and I'm sure this will be professionally managed. In the past, we've occasionally had fireworks at IRM but it was almost always caused by amateurs like me.
Seriously, though, tickets are selling out fast so buy yours now. Tomorrow may be too late!!! I'll be operating on Friday so I've got a guaranteed seat. How about you?
