Camrose Railway
Station Christmas events
The cheery, inviting smell of cookies baking will soon fill the Camrose Railway
Station as volunteers gather to bake a substantial supply of cookies for their
annual Cookie Walk, being held on Saturday, December 6, 2008, 1:00 to 4:30 p.m.
Its an excellent way to get a variety of home-baked Christmas cookies and
treats as you will have the opportunity to choose what home-cooked Christmas treats
you want along with the number they want. Station volunteers will be gathering
for several cookie-baking bees knowing that the demand for the delicious treats
will be great and not wanting anyone to be disappointed. Donations of cookies
are greatly appreciated.
Please join us for our annual Cookie Walk and also enjoy a delicious cup of tea
and Christmas dessert in our cozy tea room, and wander our white elephant gift
shop in search for the perfect Christmas gift. The gift shop is well stocked with
unique, one of a kind treasures, where you may well find that perfect gift! In
addition to the December 6 date, the museum and gift shop will also be open Tuesdays
from mid November to mid December, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (November 18, 25; December
2, 9 and 16).
The Camrose Railway Station and Park is located on 44 Street and 47 Avenue. We
are a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of early prairie and
rail history; donations are gratefully accepted. All proceeds from the days
events will go directly to museum programming.
Traditional Christmas Carol and Story evening
On Sunday, December 21, the Camrose Railway Station will further celebrate the
Christmas season and invite community members to join us for our magical Carols
and Stories by Fireside evening as we gather round the station fireplace to sing
traditional carols and share favorite Christmas stories and poems. We very much
enjoy sharing this great family tradition with members of our community so please
bring your stories and join us between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. for a cup of hot chocolate
and cider. There is no charge to attend this event.
Weather permitting we also hope to visit some of the Railway Station neighbors
to bring them the gift of Christmas song.
The Camrose Railway Station and Park is located on 44 Street and 47 Avenue. We
host many events annually and provide interpretive programs with the assistance
of volunteers. If you have interenst in railway history, restoration, gardening,
baking, storytelling or assisting with community heritage events, we welcome you
to join our volunteer family.
