(KAIR)--Atchison’s first annual train fest is this Saturday.
Atchison Chamber of Commerce President Jacque Pregont said she hopes Train Fest will raise awareness for the Chamber’s mission to refurbish the train cars at the depot.
“We thought the best thing to do as a kickoff is to have an event to let people see what we’re doing,” Pregont said.
She hopes the event grows every year.
“We’ll have some tours out there to show people the cars and explain what we have,” she said. “There will also be fun things for the kids.”
In addition to beverages, popcorn will be available.
“We have a balloon man making balloons for the kids,” Pregont said. “And then the railroaders will be the little train.”
Train Fest goes from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Saturday. The cost is $5 for adults, and kids are free.
