deej1957 and her mom invited me and Mom to Fillmore to enjoy an evening of fun and MURDER!!! Once in Fillmore, we connected with Deej and mom and spent about 30 minutes watching the Christmas Holiday Train fill up with kids and their parents--the best was a kid, dad and granddad all in matching jammies. Male bonding!! And a train had just unloaded some Christmas trees so the whole town square smelled delightful.
On board our train, we were seated and served our dinner. The prime rib was extremely generous in size, the vegetarian meal got a good review, but Mom felt the salmon wasn't up to par. The train moved slowly out of town for a few miles, stopped and returned, the whole thing lasting about 3 hours. Meanwhile inside, the actors mixed with the diners. Suddenly, in a middle a holiday toast, Santa paused, looked suspicious, twitched a few times and died in the arms of a lovely and buxom diner. The clues turned out to be VERY subtle. There was the dangerous and edgy Jack Frost, who had blue and grey face paint on and icy sparkles over his suit, a gossip columnist, the captain, a Texas millionaire, a doctor, an old Hollywood dame and couple of loony elves. At the end, everyone wrote down who they thought did it. Amazingly, I guessed correctly and won a wooden train whistle. It was a hunch rather than anything solid but I was glad someone from our table won.
The train has different themes and I'm keen to go back and experience another scenario.
