Our 27th annual Santa in the Caboose (minus two Covid years) is scheduled for Saturday, December 14, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Sunday, December 15th, from noon to 3 p.m.
With winter illnesses in mind, we are minimizing the size of our crew working in the small caboose. So, we are again not taking or printing photos.
Instead, we are asking for a donation to see Santa. Your donation helps pay the bills, which grow in the winter, having to heat the Depot and the Tower.
When youโre with Santa, you can take as many personal photos as you wish. You can even record the visit on your phone! Looking forward to seeing you in December!
We will again be having our Holiday Bake Sale in the Depot on both days, too. And Girl Scout Troop 15620 will again be with us, offering holiday hair clips and headbands for sale.
๐Saturday, Dec 9 (10am – 4pm) & ๐Sunday, Dec 10 (Noon – 4pm)

We are planning to bring back Santa in the Caboose this year!
However, we are making some changes to the event. To limit the number of people gathered in the close quarters of our small transfer caboose, we will not be taking nor printing photos.
Parents will still have a private visit with Santa, but now, for a donation, parents can take their own photos and even videotape their childโs Santa visit.
We also are bringing back our Holiday Bake Sale for the weekend, too!
Santa in the Caboose dates are Saturday, December 10th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, December 11th, noon to 4 p.m.
