Come celebrate the Spring Rail Festival and Southern California's railway heritage on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19 at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris. I'm sending two lucky Let's Play OC! families to this event for free (enter below).

The annual festival will offer families and rail enthusiasts plenty to do and see at the 100-acre railway park in the heart of Southern California.    

• Ride trolleys, electric-powered locomotives and steam trains all day. 
• Get behind the throttle of a railroad locomotive under an instructor's supervision. 
• Enjoy live bluegrass music, food vendors and special train exhibits. 
• Take the kids for a ride on a hand car. 
• See a railroad exhibit presented by Knott's Berry Farm.  
• Crown Fire Coach Enthusiasts will display vintage fire engines. 
• Join your children and "pump" the trucks!
