Tonight’s the big night at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale. A long-time tradition in the city, the train park is a wonderland of light displays that can only fully be seen from the train. Festivities kick off tonight (Friday, December 12th) at 6:30 with a tree lighting, entertainment, and a visit from Santa.
Wednesday night, I attended “A Special Night for Special Kids“, and got a sneak preview. The mom who chaperoned my son and his friends on the train ride, got off the train saying that “this year was the best year ever”. My husband and I skipped the ride, so the throngs of kids with special needs could get their free ride. We are going back to ride the train and see the full display first hand. Even if you don’t ride the train, you can still see a great holiday light display.
