Tickets on Sale for Polar Express

Tickets are now on sale for the South Shore Polar Express Saturday, Dec. 8.

The South Shore Polar Express is an annual fundraiser by the Rotary Club of Plymouth and Plymouth Housing Authority. 

Children are invited to wear their pajamas as they board a Commuter Rail train decorated for Christmas and ride from Kingston to Halifax and back as they listen to costumed volunteers read Chris Van Allsburg's story featuring a boy who learns to believe in Santa.

The ride includes a visit from Santa, fun and gift bags for each child.
