Great Overland Station

Great day at Great Overland Station. As I mentioned previously the community has turned the Great Overland Depot into the most beautiful train depot we have run across so far. It is large and spacious and allows for the building to be used for many different events. Friday they were hosting a community luncheon, Saturday a wedding and today was kids day at the depot. Today's event had a trolley ride in one exhibit hall, an activity room, toy train city and our story telling in another wing. I had my picture taken with Dollar Dog and was filmed by three Topeka TV stations during my storytelling.

The event went from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. I did four back-to-back RCC stories with four different groups of kids. A professional musician started each session with a sing-along followed by Micki and Kahuna and then me doing my stuff. The kids were great. Both of us left with smiles on our faces.

The four-hour drive to Kingman, Kansas was injected with frequent laughing as we would recall some of the kids and their humorous remarks.
When did we loose that natural sense of honesty and simplicity?

Kingman is a long ways from everywhere. Once there it has the illusion of being a Kansas oasis. We have checked into one of the two motels in Kingman and are anxious to explore their depot and community tomorrow.
