Great little amusement park with an old-timey Old West theme. Steam engine train ride is the highlight, along with other rides and fair food. Thomas the Train usually visits once/year, and the "Ghost Train" in October is fun for all ages, though the Ghost Train ride can be frightening at night.

Cultuur en gebruiken

Be sure to wave!

Most people in the mid- and smaller towns in NC are friendly and personable. When you're driving or walking in the neighborhood or on a smaller road or trail, you'll fit right in when you give a wave to those you pass.
