Admission to the Choo Choo Barn's gigantic model train layout is free for those who donate at least one non-perishable food item on Canned Food Fridays. The 150 hand-built animations and 22 trains, which operate on the 1,700 square foot model train display, will amaze visitors of all ages. The display will be decked out with holiday decorations, 52 Santas and some Christmas magic!
After exploring the unique model train display, children are invited to visit with Santa Claus at The Shops of Traintown, from 3:00 p.m. – to 8:00 p.m. As a special treat, children will receive a gift from the Choo Choo Barn and a coupon for a free cookie at Isaac’s Restaurant & Deli in Strasburg from Santa.
The thousands of canned goods collected this year will be donated to the Lampeter United Methodist Church Food Cupboard and the Chester County Food Bank. The Lampeter UMC Food Cupboard feeds hundreds of families from the Lampeter-Strasburg and surrounding areas every year. The Chester County Food Bank distributes over 1,000,000 pounds of food per year to more than 60 organizations, including food cupboards, area nonprofits and shelters.
