Once again, the Salvation Army Angel Tree program is taking place at all the Stahelin buildings. Individual gift tags are placed on the wreaths with items wanted by that child. Not every item on the tag needs to be purchased, but please spend a minimum of $25 on a gift. These presents will be collected by Monday, December 10th at the designated drop off suite in the building. There is only one pick up so please have gifts at the collection site by December 10th. We truly appreciate your participation in this holiday program!

The Polar Express Train Ride

Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, passengers will relive the magic of the classic story as they are whisked away on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ for a magical one-hour trip through the tunnels, rail yards, and neighborhoods along the Chicago River. Once on board, your car host will work their way through the coach and punch your golden ticket before hot chocolate and a delicious cookie are served by dancing chefs. Passengers then read along with the classic children’s book, The Polar Express, by Chris Van Allsburg.

Santa and his helpers board the train to greet passengers and each guest is given the first gift of Christmas – a silver sleigh bell. During the trip, characters on each car lead passengers in caroling and onboard entertainment – just like in the film! Each guest will take home a keepsake sleigh bell in addition to the wonderful memories made on this magical trip.

Passengers are required to arrive approximately one hour before their listed departure time and check in at the event area in the Great Hall. Further event information is available by calling a reservations agent at 312-471-2501.

Wishing all of our tenants a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
