Holiday Train chugs into Marquette Dec. 8
The CPKC Holiday Train will return to the area on Friday, Dec. 8. It will make just one stop in Clayton County this year, at the Marquette marina parking lot at 1:45 p.m.
Now in its 25th year, the Holiday Train is beautifully decorated with over 80,000 lights and includes musical entertainment. Tenille Townes and Breland will serenade the crowd with festive holiday tunes at the Marquette stop. Santa Claus will also be there with candy canes.
Admission to the Holiday Train is a non-perishable food item or monetary donation for the Clayton County Food Shelf, which counts the stop as one of its biggest fundraising opportunities each year.
The Holiday Train is in high demand. The Clayton County Food Shelf encourages people to attend.
“We are very fortunate to have them stopping in our community. They will continue stopping as long as we have a good turn out. Let’s keep them coming back,” the food shelf said in a press release.
