ELLIS - The Big Boy Locomotive is scheduled to pass through Ellis at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
The Foundation will be nearby selling donuts and coffee starting at 8 a.m. and host a hot dog BBQ at 11 a.m. The proceeds will be collected by the Foundation and go towards track repairs for the miniature aerotrain rides.
Most of the track has been repaired with new railroad ties and gravel, replacing rotten wood and uneven surfaces. Volunteers have been working hard to get this accomplished and there is about 1/4 left of the track to fund and repair.
Please consider supporting this project either through a donut and hot dog purchase, or through a private donation to the Foundation.
