Halloween is a fun time of the year for everyone, but sometimes it can get a little too spooky for the little ones. Ellms Family Farm offers a Halloween Hayride that totally kid-friendly and Saratoga.com is giving away a 4 pack of tickets each Thursday until Oct 25!

Before you decide to throw away your old Halloween costumes, donate them to the families served by Franklin Community Center in Saratoga Springs NY. The price of a Halloween costume can make the holiday a tough time for some families in need, but you can make a difference this year by donating your costumes.

Thanks to a group of concerned citizens, the annual Saratoga Memorial Day parade is officially back on for 2012 and scheduled to take place Monday, May 28.

Last week, the cancellation of the annual parade made national news. After hearing that the parade would be cancelled for 2012 because of funding and participation concerns, Paul Brisson of Milton, NY took action and created a fundraising effort on Facebook.

If you are currently in the military or a veteran and plan on taking a train ride this Memorial Day weekend, then you won't have to worry about paying. The Saratoga & North Creek Railway is offering free train rides to all veterans and active military.

Impressions of Saratoga is a little shop on Broadway that specializes in Saratoga memorabilia. Have a Saratoga fan in your family? You can certainly find something for anyone at this place. Souvenirs, collectibles, fine crafts, dollhouse miniatures, gifts for horse lovers, jewelry and more!

In the true spirit of the holidays, Impressions of Saratoga is giving away a $150 gift card to one lucky winner. Use the gift card as a gift, buy gifts with it, or just pick something up for yourself!

Darkness has set, and children in their pajamas board a magical train on a frosty holiday evening, anticipating the adventure that awaits them.

The train conductor punches a hole in their golden tickets, which bear the name of the train, "The Polar Express." Cheery music plays as the train's chefs do a merry dance while delivering hot cocoa and cookies for every child, and the doubting hobo wanders around the train.

The destination is the bright and mystical North Pole, where holiday magic is in the air, and Santa and his elves climb aboard. Santa delivers a silver bell to each child, which only rings if they believe. The elves join in the merriment, singing Christmas carols, as the magic of the season comes to life for every boy and girl.

It may sound like a scene from a movie (and actually, it is), but for the first time, children will be able to experience this adventure first hand in Saratoga Springs this holiday season. Throughout November and December, the Polar Express story is being brought to life by the Saratoga North Creek Railroad without missing a single one of the important details above.
