The train has officially left the station – until next year at least. The resident-run train committee puts in a significant amount of work collecting, crafting, and testing electrical components to create the magic of the holiday train. Every year, there is something new added to the set up and it’s evolved into a tradition that’s adored amongst all generations in the Wake Robin community.

From all of us at Wake Robin, Happy New Year and best wishes for the year ahead.

This beautiful group of handmade dolls are getting ready to meet their new friends. A group of Wake Robin residents partnered with a local food shelf where 133 families signed up requesting food, clothing, and toys for the holiday season. Residents crafted these dolls – from their yarn hair to their colorful pantaloons - to gift as a part of their donation. With any luck, the recipients will adore their new buddies just as much as the residents enjoyed creating them!
