Slaton Polar Express Experience Starts this Weekend

SLATON, Texas (KCBD) - (News release from the Polar Express on the Square)

We are so excited to present the Polar Express on the square in Slaton this Christmas season. We will be offering rides for $5 a person, making a family of four only $20 for a family experience that we hope will become a holiday tradition for years to come. Don’t forget your PJ’s and dress warm with a blanket or two for an old-fashioned sleigh ride type experience. The Polar Express by Chris Van Allburg will be narrated by Liam Neeson over the train speakers during the ride. The train will be lit up with Christmas lights and blankets on the seats making for a warm and cozy atmosphere. Surprises such as hot chocolate and gifts are there for the children to experience, and Santa Claus is rumored to be coming by to greet the children.

We will be doing Polar Express rides on two weekends during the holiday season. December 12, 13, 19 and 20, (Friday and Saturday) with departure times starting at 5 pm and running until 7:30 pm with later departure times as needed. The train will be leaving the station every 30 minutes. A ride will be approximately 30 minutes long. Our train can handle up to 4 families at a time.

For an experience your family will be talking about for a long time, we hope you will bring your family out to Slaton and experience the Polar Express this Christmas season. If you have any questions, contact Michael Hoover, the train engineer, at (806)543-4941. Reservations are available, or just come to the Polar Express Station on the North side of the square in Slaton Texas and we will get you on a train for a fun family experience this Christmas.
