Craggy Mountain Line Railroad Jingle Bell Trolley GIVEAWAY CONTEST!

Family Friendly Asheville has partnered up with Craggy Mountain Line Railroad, to bring you an awesome giveaway contest! Your prize pack will include a family pack of passes on their 8th Annual Jingle Bell Trolley (4 passes to 1 winner at 5:00pm on December 19th, and 4 passes to 1 winner at 5:00pm on December 20th)! Be transported back in time to their 1940’s themed tradition Christmas depot! Decorated like a winter wonderland, their train cars are bustling with elves, lively Christmas critters and classical Christmas music. Fun for the whole family, the jingle bell trolley ride takes you down the mountain and up again along the historic Craggy Mountain Line Railroad. Afterwards, you’ll get to have a visit with Santa in his very own trolley! Lastly, you’ll enjoy free refreshments such as cookies and hot cocoa to warm up from a chilly Christmas ride. At the end of your visit, look around at all their restored cars, decked out in lights!

Craggy Mountain Line Railroad is a Non-Profit Organization which owns and operates the last three miles of the historic Craggy Mountain Line in Woodfin, North Carolina, working to make the rails open for the public to ride, and they do trolley rides and events throughout the year (like their hugely popular Dinosaur Day, and Hayride on the Rails!), and are one of the BEST places to have your birthday parties!

Deadline to enter is 8:30pm on Wednesday, December 11th, 2019.
