Tickets are now available for the fourth annual Yuletyme Tyrone Train Ride, and those interested in purchasing tickets better hurry because the last three train rides have all been sell-out events.
The Yuletyme Tyrone Train Ride is scheduled for Saturday, December 13 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with stops in historic Bellefonte for Victorian Christmas Day activities.
The event is sponsored by the Tyrone Area Chamber of Commerce.
An hour before the train leaves the station at Rail Park, the Tyrone Area Historical Society will provide coffee, tea and fingerfoods for all those in attendance.
This will give participants plenty of time to view the historical exhibits at the Tyrone Area History Museum as well as some time for fellowship before the train ride begins.
The passengers will then board the train at Rail Park and travel to historic Bellefonte. There is room on the train for approximately 170 people, and one highlight of the train car is that it is heated so that the chilly weather should not curtail anyone from traveling.
Once the train reaches historic Bellefonte, there are numerous Christmas Day activities scheduled, with something sure to please everyone.
The activities include a craft show, house tours, a church tour, train display, horse and carriage ride, gingerbread house contest, Santa Claus house display, and walking tours, among other activities.
The train is then scheduled to return to the Tyrone station at approximately 4 p.m.
Tickets are available for purchase at the Tyrone Chamber of Commerce, Gardners Candies and Monika’s Cards and Gifts. Adult tickets are $20 and children tickets are $15. Call 684-O736 or 684-0949 for more information.
