We've had a lot of people ask about coming to Ashley even if they don't ride the train. Yes, yes, yes. Everyone is welcome to come to Ashley during the Country Christmas. Come early and enjoy shopping without the big crowds. Get your sticker for only $5.00 and enjoy all the venues. You'll see reindeer, visit the face painter and balloon person, play at the carnival and Candy Land, see the stage entertainment and children can visit with Santa. And if you come early you'll be there when the star of the show, The North Pole Express, rolls into town. If you've never seen a steam engine up close you're in for a big surprise. It's an experience like no other. Come and try it for yourself.
