Come ride the Halloween Express Train October 19 or 26 in St. Marys!
Kids of all ages will want to get in on the fun when monsters gather at the Hotel Transylvania to induct a young werewolf into their Monster Club on October 19 and 26 in St. Marys, GA .
As passengers ride the rails through woodlands and marshlands on the way to meet the monsters, Halloween entertainment abounds. Then at the midway, the real show comes alive when Dracula and his friends try to educate the little werewolf on the skills needed to be a monster. In the mix is a funny confrontation between the good witch and the bad witch.
Train passengers can also enjoy free admission to the St. Marys Railroad Museum at the train station.
The Halloween Express departs from Theatre by the Trax, 1000 Osborne Street in St. Marys, at 10am, noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm on October 19 and 26. Tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for children 3 to 12.

Looking for a fun adventure in your own back yard? Why not plan to ride the Wild West Express in St. Marys this Saturday, February 10th or Saturday, February 17th? Fun for ALL ages! If you come on the 10th, you can start your day with the Mardi Gras Parade just a few steps from the train station. Then ride the train and enjoy the all-day Mardi Gras Festival before or after your ride. The first train rolls out at noon on February 10th and at 10 am on the 17th. Both Saturdays feature Wild West characters aboard each train and a showdown shoot-out at Frontier Land.
Come face to face with the good guys and the bad guys as you ride the rails through woodlands and over marshlands. Then at the midway point, dramatic shootouts will be performed by members of the nationally renowned Single Action Shooting Society.
Before and after the train ride, you can tour the St. Marys Railroad Museum and watch the model trains make their run, or try your skills at axe throwing with the infamous Flying Hawks II Axe Throwing Team.
For the February 10 and 17 events, St. Marys Express has added the popular “AT THE THROTTLE” experience whereby people (16 or older) get to actually run the diesel locomotive.
To ride the WILD WEST EXPRESS open air railcars, tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for children 12 and under. Children 2 and under ride free on laps. Rides in the diesel locomotive are available for $50 per person, and the AT THE THROTTLE EXPERIENCE is $150 per person.
Tickets to the Wild West Express can be purchased at www.stmarysrailroad.com or by calling 912-200-5235. Groups of ten or more can get a discount code by calling 912-729-1103. AT THE THROTTLE experiences can be reserved by calling 912-729-1103 as well. Some walkup tickets may be available on the days of the events. Trains run at noon, 2pm and 4 pm on February 10th and at 10 am, noon, 2 pm and 4 pm on February 17th.
Hope to see you on the train!

This post is long overdue. On July 31st, the St Marys Railroad Museum & Model Railroad Club lost their finest. John Gantz passed away and will forever be missed. He was the nicest man you could have ever met, always had a smile and never would say good bye, always "later". You are missed by all you met and I hope your legacy may live on in the museum for generations.

If you're a coffee drinker or if you have friends or family who would enjoy a great coffee, please go to Once Upon a Bookseller and get a pound of Pecan Hill Coffee Roasters most delicious coffee. Proceeds go to St. Marys Little Theatre to help recover from the hurricane impact. A big thank you to Regina Adkins and Pecan Hill Coffee Roasters for this special fundraising event. You have several flavors to choose from. A one pound bag is $15 and believe me, you would pay more than that for this quality of gourmet brew. Thank you so much for sharing and/or purchasing the coffee to help cultural arts in our community. The bookstore requests checks or cash please. Their phone number is 912-882-7350 if you need to ask about hours, etc. We appreciate any help you all can give us so that we can continue to bring crowd-pleasing live theatre productions to our community.

Clean out your closets for a good cause!
St. Marys Little Theatre would very much appreciate your help. Because we had to postpone our season opening show, THE SECRET GARDEN, due to the hurricane which flooded the theatre building, we desperately need to raise some money to pay our electric bill and produce the Christmas show. Please look through your home and see if you have items you could donate for our fundraising yard sale September 30. Our director of fundraising, Lori Floyd, will be at Theatre by the Trax to receive any donations this coming week Monday through Thursday from 5 to 6 pm. Back door of theater building will be open. If you cannot make it at that time, please call Lori at 520-840-2827, or just leave on the theater front porch and we will take inside. Thank you so very much for any help you can give us. We appreciate our community and how we all help each other during tough times. The September 30 yard sale coincides with the St. Marys citywide yard sale, so come on down and shop and dine in downtown St. Marys that day. Our merchants and restaurants were affected by the storm as well so they would appreciate your patronage.
