Viewing Album:  A&M Santa train 2014
 
By:Tom Beckett
Dates:12/6/2014 - 12/6/2014
Album Info:Shots of the Santa rain run by A&M on Dec 6 214. The weather was dismal, in some ways worse than last year when there was 8" of snow on the ground. Today was just heavy overcast. Reminded me of living in Binghamton NY. Still, the mood was festive, and everyone I saw was having a good time.
