Members of the GFWC Junior Women's Club of Butler have become Christmas elves the past two Decembers, and they will once again be Santa’s helpers this season.

The organization's members set up a walk-along storytelling experience based on the animated “Polar Express” movie in 2020 in Alameda Park, which was initially just a way to raise money during the COVID-19 pandemic. It turned out to be a huge draw for the community.

The Polar Express will take visitors at Memorial Park from 3 to 5:30 p.m., and registration is required and costs $5 for a family of four, or $2 per person. Registrations can be made by visiting the women’s club’s Facebook page.
