**🚂🍽️ This is a Destination & Dining Event Day Trip!**
**Labor Day Weekend Adventure — Saturday, August 30**
If you’re not doing anything for the holiday, **pack up your car with friends from the group—or just friends—and come along** for an unforgettable day of trains, food, fun, and laughter.
**The more the merrier—so invite a buddy and make a day of it!**

***

### 🛤️ **PART 1: The Destination – Iron Mountain Railway & Cafe**

We’re starting the day with a blast from the past!
Climb aboard a vintage railcar over **100 years old** for a **2-hour scenic train excursion**, featuring:

* A **5-mile ride down the track**
* An **entertaining reenactment of a Jesse James train robbery** (*no Oscar-winning performances here, fellas—but it’s all in good fun!*)
* Lively narration, old-timey mischief, and photo ops galore

It’s like stepping into your own Western movie—**fun, playful, and full of surprises**. By the end, you’ll be laughing, snapping photos, and more than ready for a good meal!

> **🚨 IMPORTANT: We must arrive at Iron Mountain Railway by 12:15 PM to ensure you get a ticket for the 1:00 PM train ride. DON’T BE LATE!**

***

### 🍞 **PART 2: The Dining – Lambert’s Cafe, Sikeston**

After the train ride, we’ll head **34 miles south to Lambert’s Cafe**, the legendary **Home of the Throwed Rolls**—where the bread flies and the portions are huge!
But it’s not just about the rolls…
They serve **damn good homestyle meals** too—think:

* Country fried chicken
* Tender steaks
* Meatloaf
* Crispy catfish
* Pork steak
* Chicken pot pies

…and of course, all the classic sides and pass-arounds you can handle.
And let’s be clear:
We’ve already talked with Lambert’s staff and management. **The environment is LGBTQ-friendly**—in fact, the hostess told us that **some of the waiters are LGBTQ themselves**, and she joked, *“Some of those guys do their nails better than I do!”* 💅🤣
We’re a large group, but the **expected wait time is only about 30 minutes**, and sometimes even faster.

***

### 📌 **Important Details:**

1. 💵 The **train ride costs $20** and lasts 2 hours.
2. 🚂 **No prepayment required**—you’ll pay when we arrive at Iron Mountain.
3. 🕘 **It’s an all-day Saturday affair**, but totally worth the trip.
4. 🎯 **RSVP now** so we can plan accordingly—it’s Labor Day weekend!

***

**Let’s see if this generates enough interest to make it happen—because it’s the perfect way to wrap up your summer!**
**You won’t be sorry. RSVP today!** 🎉
