    DO MORE IN STETTLER

    Trip includes round-trip train journey to Big Valley for the model train show, a full course buffet style Alberta roast of beef and gravy meal at the Community Hall and some sightseeing and exploring, and then off to the Hideaway.  In Big Valley, there will be time to visit Granny’s Fudge Factory and All That Buzz, the Canadian Northern restored station, the vintage automobiles, trucks and household artifacts at McAlister’s Garage Museum, and Big Valley’s world-class Hand-tool and Collectibles Museum. At the Hideaway hayrides, nature walks, children’s barrel train, old-time carnival games, and rubber ducky races are all part of the excitement. Mine payroll on board increases the danger of being hit by the Reynolds Raiders horse-mounted outlaw gang.
