Trains will depart promptly at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. The actual boarding time will be 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time for any train. The last two trains of the day are the Pajama Trains. Kids are encouraged to wear their pajamas.
Individual tickets are $25 and are available to order online at www.thesmith.org or www.genevasantatrain.com. Lapsitters under age 2 ride for free. Children also will be able to fill out “wish lists” for their sit down with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.
“This is a wonderful holiday event!” said Co-Chair Dave Cook. “Finger Lakes children, parents, families and friends love it as they not only get a chance to ride a train, but they get to meet Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus and listen to Santa’s singing elves. Kids of all ages come home with big smiles on their faces and the youngsters get a coloring book, crayons and candy canes.”
Food and beverages will be available for purchase on the trains.
If you are interested in becoming a Sponsor for this holiday event, please contact Rotary President Gerald Forcier at 315-726-0395.
“We are so happy that Finger Lakes Railroad and our club are working together to make Christmas spirits brighter for kids and families in the Finger Lakes,” said Forcier. “Everybody gets off the train with a smile on their face.”
The railroad and Geneva Rotary have presented the Santa Train for 16 years.
