Christmas at the Choo Choo Barn
Join the Choo Choo Barn in its passion to serve those in need by participating in Canned Food Fridays. The 24th annual Canned Food Fridays event returns to the Choo Choo Barn in Strasburg, PA, on December 7, 14 and 21, 2012 from 10am – 8pm. Admission to the Choo Choo Barn’s 1,700 square foot model train layout is free if you donate one non-perishable food item per person.

This year, food collected will be donated to the Lampeter United Methodist Church Food Cupboard and the Chester County Cares Food Bank. After exploring the unique model train display, children are invited to visit with Santa Claus on the second floor of The Shops of Traintown, from 3:00 p.m. – to 8:00 p.m. After their visit with Santa, children will receive a special treat from the Choo Choo Barn and a coupon for a free cookie at Isaac’s Restaurant & Deli in Strasburg.
