We transformed our club into a whimsical, interactive scene from the beloved story, the Polar Express. This innovative idea dramatically enhanced our club's operation by capturing the festive holiday spirit!

A miniature train ride for children of all ages around the parking lot sparked joy and excitement before they even stepped foot into the clubhouse. Before, they were boarded the Polar Express they got their tickets from the conductor in the ticker booth, setting the tone for the magical adventures inside.

In the clubhouse, our usual setup transitioned into a festive wonderland. We incorporated themed food stations resembling trains accompanied by face painters and balloon artists, bringing forth a magical experience for every child. One of the main highlights undoubtedly was our ENCC team members dancing through the dining room to the hot chocolate song from the Polar Express story, creating an enchanting atmosphere that captivated not only our younger members but also their families!
