My soon to be 4 year old would LOVE to see Thomas and Percy (his favorite)!!!!!
My two year old loves Thomas. Every time the commercial for a Day out with Thomas comes out he drops whatever he is doing and RUNS to the tv. We need these tickets because we desperately need a day out as a family. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1433465826947319&id=100008517468114&pnref=story

I am a single mom of a 6 year old who works enough to make ends meet. I don’t have extra money sometimes to do fun things like this with my daughter. She loves Thomas and friends.
My three-year-old son loves trains, especially Thomas, and our son has never ridden a train except at 6 months old, which he has no memory of. We saw Thomas in Grapevine two years ago but didn’t ride that day. The only way we’ll ride this year is if we win tickets. We’d love to share this experience with friends and family. Our son also has a birthday coming up, and this would be a great gift. http://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fshar.es%2F1grGn5&h=oAQFrhSGG&enc=AZOicTJhJBKdyudV_aRNWoIvzoynvEp-lDR-cbyaoMfEKKE6tpijkhEEJ3P0lnWUsR64HhdyaE3udBQjGSsyNEMd&s=1
My 3 yr old loves Thomas and I think he would love to go to this!
My 3 year old has been a Thomas fan since she was a baby! She watches Thomas the train daily. For Christmas one year that’s all she wanted was Thomas the train toys. Winning these tickets would make her dream come true!

My kids love Thomas and friends. They enjoy watching the show while playing along with their trains. https://m.facebook.com/cami.wimberley?ref=bookmark#!/story.php?story_fbid=998962686799546&id=100000574720595&refid=17&ref=bookmark&_ft_
This would be so fun to take my daughter to! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10205921501027262&id=1551347311
My oldest is obsessed with Thomas the Train and wants to go see Thomas and ride on him. He knows ALL the trains and has gotten his little brother so excited about “choo choo” trains too. He wants to share this experience with our family and would be over the moon to go.
Here is my Facebook share-

My son adores Thomas. I know he would really enjoy the train ride and all the activities at Day Out with Thomas.
My kids and their friends would love to go to this. We went a few years back when my son was a baby but he would really get a kick out of this now.

We like Thomas but my son and his friend really love trains! It would be great to be able to take them both.
I have a daughter and son who would love to go see and ride Thomas the train!!!! We watch it every day! this would be a great way to spend a day with the family!
My little girl is a huge fan of Thomas and friends! She will happily sit with all of her trains and play with them for hours – for her last birthday, her party was princess/thomas the tank engine themed. Her grandparents, who live in Scotland are coming to visit in April and this would be such a fun activity for us all to together.

My soon-to-be 3-year-old LOVES Thomas… and all trains for that matter. He would be so excited to get to ride a “real” Thomas!
My daughter who will be 2 soon loves trains because of Thomas the Train. Every time we pass by the DART she is always saying “CHOO CHOO”. We watch it on PBS and now that I am working, we watch it on the weekends from the DVR. Thanks
