“We always look forward to this event and to the pure magic the festivities bring to our city. You see the train pull up and it is just spectacular — it’s completely lit up! When the performers suddenly appear and despite chilly weather, just sing their hearts out for a great cause, it’s really quite something to see,” said food bank executive director Laurie O’Connor in a news release.
