(KNSI) – All aboard! The Canadian Pacific Kansas City Holiday Train is chugging back to Minnesota in December as part of its annual tour to support local food banks.
The festive locomotive is on track to make three stops in the area on Wednesday, December 16th. It will pull into Buffalo at 6:00 p.m. at the 5th Street Northeast railway crossing, Annandale at 7:30 p.m. at Downtown Park over the Harrison Street West railway crossing, and Kimball at Willow Creek Park, 230 Main Street South. Performers scheduled for central Minnesota are Shawnee Kish and Jamie Fine.
Additional Minnesota stops include Glenwood, Alexandria, Detroit Lakes, and more.
Decorated with hundreds of thousands of LED lights, the train pulls into each town with professional musicians and Santa Claus on board to play a free concert right from a car that turns into a stage. The shows are free to attend, and CPKC asks attendees to bring cash or non-perishable food donations if they are able. Local food shelves will set up collection stations at each event, with all donations staying in the community. The group also presents a check to the local food shelf at each stop.
