One of the holiday season's most beloved traditions is making a return to Wisconsin in 2016.
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will make several stops in our region this December, all in an effort to raise money, food, and awareness for local food banks and food shelves.
In its 18th year, the Holiday Train offers beautiful sights and sounds for children of all ages, live entertainment, as well as a chance to contribute to a great cause.
"We are very excited about this year's CP Holiday Train and are encouraging all event attendees to bring healthy, nutritious food items to the shows," said Pam Jolliffe, Interim Executive Director, Food Banks Canada. "For the last two decades, CP has played an integral role in raising essential food for the holidays and in raising awareness of hunger-related issues." ?
