Saturday, December 16, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., Mt. Baker Farm

— from Susan Anderson for Children’s House —

Join Children’s House for the Inaugural Santa Train event at Mt. Baker Farm. Pet the farm animals, tour the historic depot, climb aboard the holiday train, bring your camera for a session with Santa and Mrs. Claus, enjoy music and refreshments and even rub ears with celebrity Mayor Hudson, bound to be dressed for the occasion.

The event, a fundraiser for Children’s House, takes place rain or shine, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday, December 16.

There is no charge for admission to the farm or for photos with Santa, though donations are appreciated. Tickets will be available for purchase of warm drinks, popcorn, and home-baked goodies. The train will be available for viewing. Weather-permitting, (tracks must be dry) purchase the 15-minute Mt. Baker Scenic Railroad ride, $5 per ticket. (A limited number of tickets will be made available for those who are unable to purchase their own.)

Don’t miss this unique opportunity — destined to become a memorable, annual event for Orcas families.
