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.

It’s 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 day’s 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.
