One-Tank Trip for Dec. 15/18
(c) By Jim Fox
Santa and Mrs.
Claus are about to wind up their 2018 tour that continues to draw huge crowds
across the land.
Like the “rock
stars” they are, the dynamic duo will still be making a few appearances before
the real work begins in advance of Dec. 25.
But, there’s still
time for kids to get their last-minute requests to Santa in person.

Santa has had fun
riding the rails, visiting with his fans and appearing in hundreds of parades
in every city and town.
In fact, the
veteran of parades still has three left this weekend in Ontario: Burgessville,
St. George and Woodville, all night-time spectacles tonight (Dec. 15).
All aboard
There’s still time
to catch up with the jolly gent on the rails – the Santa Treats train on the Port
Stanley Terminal Rail.

They run
on weekends through Dec. 23 at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. (the Dec. 15, 11
a.m. train is now sold out).
“Enjoy a
ride through Elgin County in early winter from the warmth of a heated car,” said
rail president Dan Vernackt.
“Santa has
treats for the kids and their anticipation grows as we near our destination to
meet him,” he added.
All aboard
as the train departs and returns to the Port Stanley station (309 Bridge St.)
by the King George Lift Bridge. It costs $15, adults; $9, children ages two to
14. pstr.on.ca;

Other
popular rides are pretty well booked for the remaining dates, so book early
next year for the South Simcoe Railway’s Santa Claus Express and Waterloo
Central Railway’s Santa Train.
Packing up
The elves
are hard at work at Santa’s Village housed at the Ingersoll Ontario Cheese
& Agricultural Museum (290 Harris St.) but it’s almost time to go.
“Sneak
a peek at the village and come and see what ol’ Kris Kringle and his elves have
been working on,” said coordinator Andrea Roulston.

It’s open
Fridays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Dec.
22, with the theme this year “Christmas Around the World.”
Along with
Santa visits, the special event tonight (Dec. 15) is magic with Steve Seguin
