We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all who joined us for the ride and celebration of fireworks and festivities at The Star Barn at Stone Gables Estate on the 4th of July. The enjoyable experience remained unaffected by the warm weather and evening rain, and we appreciate your support.

First trips of celebrating our 4th of July weekend are finished for today. With a heat index of 105, the interior of the cab roof came in at an impressive 145 degrees by noon time.

The afternoon trips today were annulled just due to the extreme weather and safety of the crews.

Tomorrow the fun resumes with all the estate activities, train rides, rounded off and closed with one heck of a fireworks show!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that took a chance on the weather and visited us today.

While we were able to stay dry for nearly half the day, it sure did have a soggy ending to it!
