On Sunday, December 6, twelve people will experience the North Pole Limited Christmas train in North Bend—and TPUSA Communities Maple Valley has four tickets remaining to give to one local family.
We’re looking for a family who could truly use this blessing: perhaps parents who work incredibly hard to provide, but special experiences like this simply aren’t in the budget, or a family who continually serves, gives and shows up for others without expecting anything in return.
You may nominate someone you know or nominate your own family. Please message TPUSA Communities Maple Valley privately rather than naming anyone in the comments. Tell us a little about why the family came to mind and who would be attending.
Nominations will be accepted through Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 25. Their circumstances will remain private, and the selected family will never be expected to share their story or appear publicly in photos.
The North Pole Limited is a two-hour round-trip experience departing from the North Bend Depot. Families will ride to the seasonally decorated Railway History Campus, where they’ll have approximately one hour to explore museum exhibits, enjoy cookies and hot chocolate, make seasonal crafts, see all the Christmas decorations and meet Santa inside the restored Chapel Car. Every child will receive a present from Santa! 🎅🎁

Strong families. Strong communities. A Christmas memory to carry forward. 🎄
