The Santa Train in Ahwatukee

Its a tradition for the Polimene’s.  Frank and Dianne have shared their Christmas display with the public for 41 years, 29 in Arizona.  Their train display in Awhutkee spans the length of their home. It’s a site to see.

Not only do they share their display with us, the public, but they sponsor a charity, the Miracle League of Arizona.
