Labor Day

There were more options than time over Labor Day. Indian Pow Wows, Train festivals in Baldwin, the start of Football season in Topeka,Emporia,Lawrence or Manhattan. I choose on Saturday to attend Railroad Days at the Great Overland Station, the former Union Pacific Station that has been restored. The Station itself is worth it's own blog entry, which I will do sometime.

Railroad days is a return to a tradition that happened from the late 80's to the early years of this century.It would last the whole weekend and attract big name entertainment. It basically was a County Fair, midway,arts and craft,a lot of exhibits dedicated to Topeka Railroad history.It went away from several years and now returned in a much smaller format, with great hopes of bigger and better things. I was there early and could have returned for a concert in the evening,but was torn away by the start of Football.

Monday evening brought the return of Hockey Season in Topeka and a inter squad came played on a foggy ice at the Expocentre. Blue beat White for the season year in a row ,2-1 in OT.
