"I think it's a great community event and I think the story about the two Girl Scouts bringing it to Tosa is really awesome and the fact that they're collecting food for families is really wonderful," said Joann Carini, Milwaukee.

Saturday, December 5th the train will be in central and western Wisconsin. Visitors are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to the train stations.

It is a kickoff to the holidays, ready for more stops along the way!
