You will have two chances to see the Holiday Train this year.  The Canadian Pacific Railway has added a stop on Friday, December 5th in Pingree Grove at 10:00 am.  This is the first time that the Holiday Train will be coming through that area.  Or come out to Viking Park in Gurnee on Tuesday, December 9th at 5:15 PM and join in the holiday spirit.  You won't want to miss this opportunity to see the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train decked out with thousands and thousands of holiday lights.  Last year’s festivities in Gurnee offered an array of musical entertainment, tasty treats donated by varies food vendors and Santa himself.  Donate a non-perishable food item or make a monetary gift to help our hungry neighbors. Donations topped $45,000 and we are looking to do even better this year!  The Holiday Train is sponsored by the Gurnee Chamber of Commerce, an affiliate of the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, and the Village of Pingree Grove.

“The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has become a regular part of the Northern Illinois Food Bank’s Christmas tradition in Lake County and we look forward adding this event in Pingree Grove,” said Dennis Smith executive director and CEO of the Northern Illinois Food Bank.  “We are so grateful for the Lake County Chamber of Commerce, the Village of Pingree Grove, and the Canadian Pacific Railway for their generosity in providing hope to families in need.”
