Stringtown Polar Express Cancelled for 2009
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have decided as a family that we will not be able to run Polar Express this year.
We are sad to make this decision, as we have been looking forward to the Polar Express all year.
We appreciate all your interest in the Stringtown Polar Express.
Your enthusiasm to share this special Christmas event with us has been a blessing to us these past few years.
We plan on running Polar Express again next year and look forward to seeing you then.
Come Ride the Polar Express and see Santa at the North Pole ! !
This Christmas season, the Stringtown Railroad will again be turned into the Stringtown Polar Express.
The Polar Express is a train ride for the whole family that leaves the Stringtown Station and travels to the North Pole where Santa Claus lives.
Each guest on the Polar Express will get to visit Santa Claus, tell him what they want for Christmas, and get their picture taken.
Santa also sings Christmas songs with the kids, tells a Christmas story, and gives each child a small early Christmas gift.
Most importantly, during the journey on the Polar Express, guests will hear music see pictures about Christ's birth, His life, and the true meaning of Christmas.
We started running the Stringtown Polar Express in 2006.
In total, over 14,000 guests have traveled on the Polar Express to the North Pole to visit Santa Claus.

Cost:
As with all Stringtown events, the Polar Express is free for everyone.
Donations:
Many people have asked to donate, so we will have a donation box available to take donations.
All proceeds from Stringtown events are given to Primary Children's Hospital or other charitable organizations.
Who Can Ride?
The Polar Express can carry passangers of any age and size. That means kids, parents, grandparents, etc will all ride the Polar Express together to the North Pole.
Clothing and Cameras:
Please remember that it is cold at the North Pole, especially at night, so please dress accordingly.
Please remember to bring your camera. Last year, hundreds of people forgot a camera and missed out on some wonderful photographs.
Reservations
To avoid long lines and over-crowding, we will be implementing a reservation system just like last year.
This means we will assign specific time slots to everyone who rides the Polar Express.
We try to fit in anyone who comes, even without a reservation, but because of the amount of people that will want to ride,
you will likely not be able to ride if you do not have a reservation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Reservations will not be open to the public this year.
Due to the popularity of the Polar Express, the number of people who want to enjoy this experience has far outgrown our capacity.
As a result, there will unfortunately be many people who we will not be able to accommodate this year.
At this time, we do not foresee being able to open up reservations to the general public.
We apologize to all those who we will not be able to accommodate.
We will continue to make improvements to the Polar Express experience each year to hopefully allow us to accommodate more people.
Also, we will no longer be running the Polar Express during the day for pre-school, kindergarten, and elementary school field trips.
We would still love to have school groups come, but we would like you to come in the Spring.
