Santa Express coming to town

December 12, 2012

The Marquette Rail Santa Express is coming to several area towns this Saturday. This is the seventh year Marquette Rail will bring Santa and Mrs. Claus to communities along its line, where they will hand out candy to children.

Marquette Rail has partnered with Jim Nickelson’s Christmas Trees of Amber Township and Miller’s Produce of Manistee to help distribute trees each stop to drawing winners who have been pre-selected.

MasonCountyPress.com will be riding the train at each of the Mason County stops beginning in Scottville and ending in Free Soil. We will be providing live coverage of the stops and the trips via Facebook (www.facebook.com/masoncountypress) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/masoncopress). Our live coverage is being sponsored by House of Flavors Restaurants in Ludington and Manistee.

Live coverage will include photographs and comments about each stop.
