[BCMA] Saturday Night on the Town at Fort Steele

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Fort Steele Heritage Town, July 12, 2013

For immediate release…


*Saturday Night on the Town...*



When was the last time you had a night out on the town? … at Fort Steele
Heritage Town, that is!   Well, join the good folks in town this summer for
*Saturday Night on the Town* and enjoy the leisure of a summer evening with
close family and friends, the Fort Steele way.



Your evening begins with a wonderful buffet dinner in the International
Hotel, followed by a special performance of the theatre’s mainstage summer
production of *The Great Cattle C*aper*.  *A steam train ride completes
your night out with a tour round the train loop while the sun dips lower on
the horizon.  This all inclusive package is being offered on Saturday
nights July 20, August 10, 17, and 31 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 full 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.



*The Great Cattle Caper* is being performed at Fort Steele’s Wild Horse
Theatre this summer.  Reviews have been five star!  There’s a cattle
rustler in town and Johnny, the ranch owner’s son, is the prime suspect.
Can he find the real culprit and prove to the sheriff, and everyone else in
town, that he is innocent?  The Wild Horse Theatre was built in 1972 to
represent a venue for turn of the century entertainment; a huge part of
Fort Steele’s history.



Today, Fort Steele has revived the railway history of the region with its
established steam train excursions offered daily through July and August.
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.



Tickets for *Saturday Night on the Town* 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.
