Participants are encouraged to dress in holiday costumes or bring jingle bells. Prizes are awarded for best costumes. The event carries a registration fee of $5 per person and is free for children under 5 years old.
The program around the trot includes a train lighting ceremony, Santa sightings and photos, a cookies and cocoa reception, a performance by Elma Little Cheer, and the SpodyFest Christmas Convoy among other activities.
