For immediate release…



*There are bandits in them woods…!*



Dinner in the Kootenay’s will never be the same when it involves a train
heist!  Help protect the good folks at Fort Steele Heritage Town from
bandits who threaten the peace and tranquility of an evening train ride!
Call on the Mountie in his red serge to save the day!  *Wild West Wednesday
*events ride again this summer and you don’t want to miss it!  Enjoy a
casual home style buffet dinner at the International Hotel, where the
action begins, and before you know it you are fully involved in a
straight-shooting, mystery-building, farce that finishes in a flourish
during an evening excursion on Fort Steele’s own steam train!  This all
inclusive package is being offered on Wednesday nights July 24, August 7,
and 21 only, so you don’t want to miss out!



The International Hotel houses Fort Steele’s main, family style
restaurant.  Dinner for this event will be casual cowboy fare, buffet
style.  The International Hotel is a reconstruction of the original
International Hotel that was built on the same site during Fort Steele’s
boom of 1897.  Interior decorations represent similar hotel décor from the
era.  Enjoy good home style cooking with a heritage ambience.



Today, Fort Steele has revived the railway history of the region with its
established steam train excursions.  The railway bypassed Fort Steele in
1898 and went through Cranbrook signalling Fort Steele’s decline.  By 1912,
a CPR line was built in the area but it was too late to save the town.
Fort Steele Heritage Town is pleased to offer train rides, with locomotive
1077, as part of its heritage experience.  Rides are offered daily through
July and August only.



Tickets for *Wild West Wednesday* are only $40 for adults, $20 for children
6 to 12, and 5 years and younger pay their age.  What more could you ask
for a memorable way to take in one of the region’s greatest heritage
destinations!  Call 250-417-6000 to purchase your tickets today.  Limited
seating so call now!  Be sure to check out www.fortsteele.ca for more
information about these and other special events and activities being
offered at Fort Steele Heritage Town this summer.



A family favourite for decades, Fort Steele Heritage Town is a must see,
must do, destination.  Take a giant leap into the 1890s and experience this
restored pioneer boomtown.  On any given day, discover over 12 acres of
shops, buildings, exhibits, and the people who bring Fort Steele’s turn of
the century heyday to life!  Nestled in the majestic Kootenay Rockies of
British Columbia, Fort Steele is located just 16 km northeast of Cranbrook.
 Open daily to September 3, 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
