BECAUSE OF YOU…..our families had a fantastic time riding the Polar Express Train to the North Pole. Thank you for helping make our Holiday Adventure so special.

On Saturday, December 1st the Polar Express pulled out of Camden filled with the sounds of Christmas Carolers, The Durning String Band and all the children and their parents staying at our Ronald McDonald House.

The children all dressed in snuggle pajamas were escorted by the Camden Fire Department from our House in Camden. With laughter and excitement, the children could not sleep knowing they were headed to the North Pole for a visit with Santa. We sang all the Christmas classics from Here Comes Santa Claus to Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, creating memories that will last a life time.
