When Santa's North Pole Express Train stops in Moorefield, WV on Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6, 2008, the children coming on board are encouraged to wear their warm PJ's for the 1.5 hour ride. A cooperative effort of the Hardy County Tour and Crafts Association, and the Potomac Eagle, this special holiday journey promises a story time featuring the popular "The Polar Express", hot chocolate and cookies, and a visit from Santa himself! Children can also bring along a copy of the book if they wish. The train is scheduled to depart from the Jefferson Street Crossing in Moorefield at 5:00 pm and again at 7:30 pm each day. Boarding will begin about 30 minutes prior to departure. Of course, the Conductor will do his best to keep the train on time for this whimsical journey to the North Pole!

As of Wednesday, October 29, all train rides are sold out. Tickets prices are: $6.00 for ages 2-11, and $10.00 for 12 to adult. Children under 2 are free, but they will need to sit on an adult's lap. For safety's sake, all children must be accompanied by an adult.

Make this fanciful trip a holiday tradition for your family!
