The entertainers this year are billed as Valdy and Tracey Brown.

The goal of the Holiday Train is to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the Holiday Train provides a box car stage, a line up of great musical talents and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn, is encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community.

Since the program's inception back in 1999, more than $5.6 million and over 2.45 million pounds of food has been collected in Canada and the United States.

If you have never been to see the Holiday Train, it is well worth the trip on a cold winter evening - wrap up warmly and be prepared to enjoy some great entertainment as well as the very pretty lit up train and stage. Don't forget your donations for the Food Bank.
