Day Out With Thomas the Tank Engine

The City of Burnet/Burnet County Complete Count Committee was present for Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine, a massive event held in Burnet, Texas from October 9 -11, 2009. Thomas the Tank Engine is a popular cartoon geared towards toddlers. The Austin Steam Train Association brought Thomas the Tank alive in the form of an actual steam engine! Fans and their families were able to catch a ride on Thomas the Tank. In between periods of the train rides, the CCC provided information on the 2010 Census to passers-by. Kids in attendance picked up balloons and activity books from the 2010 Census booth to remind kids how important it is to remind their parents to fill out their census form. The Census Bureau raffled three baskets of census goodies; the winners are from Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, and Burnet respectively.
