KETTLE VALLEY TRAIN TOUR INFO
kettlevalleyrail.org
The tours that might work well with our Festival Registration would be July 12th and July 13th for a two-hour train tour and costs as outlined below. The Great Train Robbery and Bar-B-Que is scheduled for July 19th. These are attractively priced tours. Around 35$ for the 2-hour Train Tour on either July 12th or 13th and around 71$ for the afternoon train tour and Bar-B-Que on July 19th . There is a total of 281 seats available, which means that people should probably book ahead so that their seats are confirmed.
