Brooke send me an email at sue@fieldtripswithsue.com with your address. FYI – All winners are chosen through random.org, I don’t actually pick the winners, I let the computer do that – the other way would be WAAYY too much pressure.</p>
<p><strong>Now for our next present:</strong> We&#8217;re giving away a Thomas the Tank Engine Prize Pack. I know how much everyone LOVES Thomas and this is a GREAT package. Perfect Valentine&#8217;s Gift for that special little guy (or guys, there&#8217;s enough here to spread around.)</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s included in the prize pack:<br />
<em>Talking Railway Knapford Station Set (Thomas Wooden Railway)</em><br />
Join Thomas and his friends for an exciting stop at Knapford Station! This complete wooden set is a full layout destination pack that features exclusive engine recognition technology that allows Sir Topham Hatt to greet Talking Railway engines by name for hours of interactive fun! Hear Thomas, Percy and talk too!</p>
<p><em>Thomas &amp; Friends: Hero of the Rails DVD</em><br />
In this action-packed tale of friendship, determination and teamwork Thomas discovers an abandoned and broken down engine named Hiro from an exciting far away land. Fearing that he will be scrapped, Thomas enlists help from many friends including Victor, a new steam engine and Kevin, a new crane vehicle who both work at the spectacular Sodor Steam Works. But mishaps, mistakes and one boastful engine could foil their plans for a heroic rescue. Can the engine pals work together to help their new friend? Join the adventure and find out!</p>
<p><em>Repair and Go Station (Thomas Wooden Railway)</em><br />
The Sodor Steamworks is ready for repairs!  Lifte the engines with the crane to do a thorough inspection. Visit the repair stations to check the engines oil and replace and rest their wheels. After a visit to the Steamworks, the engines are ready to go!  This is the newest destination on the Island of Sodor, as seen in Hero of the Rails!</p>
<p><em>Thomas Wooden Railway(tm) Engines: Victor &amp; Hiro</em><br />
Two of the newest engines on the Island of Sodor,  Hiro and Victor help Thomas in his adventures in Hero of the Rails.</p>

<p>This summer I wrote about <a href="http://www.fieldtripswithsue.com/search/label/Thomas%20the%20Tank%20Engine">A Day Out with Thomas in North Carolina</a>. Well, Thomas is now visiting Cordele, a short two hour drive south of Atlanta.</p>
<p>As I said in my last post, if you have a Thomas fan, or a child that likes trains, this is a great excursion. The highlight of the experience is a 25 minute train ride on the real Thomas the Tank Engine. However, children also get to meet Sir Topham Hatt, the conductor of the railroad. Additional activities include arts &amp; crafts, storytelling, Thomas videos, live music, hay bale maze, temporary tattoos (My youngest LOVES tattoos.), bounce houses and more. There is also a Thomas store, so if your holiday theme is trains, you&#8217;ll be set.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to win tickets to see Thomas, <span style="font-style: italic;">Field Trips with Sue</span> is giving away a family 4 pack and a Thomas the Tank Engine DVD. The tickets are for Sunday, Nov. 1 at 11 am. I know it&#8217;s a little early and I&#8217;m working on getting the option of a later time, but this is it for now. If you are interested in winning the tickets and the DVD, leave a comment below or on the Field Trips with Sue Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fieldtripswithsue). This one is a short turn-a-round, so we&#8217;ll announce the winner on Friday and your tickets will be at Will Call. We&#8217;ll mail you the DVD.<br />
