This year VIP camp set up a special visit to Fantasyland in Lincoln park and it was the first time James and his family saw this Christmas display. It was two levels of decoration and many of the displays were tributes to popular Christmas movies. One of the rooms upstairs were a couple train displays, HO and O scale. I could not help but ask if the train people knew Mr Nick. To my surprise they had pictures of him on the wall and said he was a founding member. Mr Nick was James Dad baseball coach at St. Alberts and put on huge train shows at St. Alberts for decades.

James got a free picture with Santa so he took advantage of it. He also got to see his friends from VIP camp so it was really a beautiful evening all around.
