At Santa's request, the Virginia & Truckee Railway in Carson City is inviting local youth groups to become North Pole Elves and help spread holiday cheer aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS Train Ride this season.
Each year, families hop aboard the train to experience the magic of the North Pole, complete with cookies, cocoa, and festive fun, all made even more special by Santa's spirited elves who greet passengers with holiday joy.
This year, the railway is recruiting youth groups to bring the North Pole to life, offering an opportunity for young people to create lasting memories for families and earn an honorarium for their efforts.
Participation details:
- Groups of 10–15 people, ages 8–18 preferred
- Select nights in November (13–16, 20–23, 28–30) and December (4–7, 11–14, 18–23)
- $100 honorarium per night, per group
- Commitment of five to ten nights minimum
- Two adult chaperones required per group
- Three train runs per evening
Local youth clubs, sports teams, church groups, and student councils are encouraged to join the fun while helping Santa create a magical holiday experience for Northern Nevada families.
Groups interested can email polarexpressdirector@gmail.com for available dates and more information.
