Back for a fourth consecutive year with a new design, the custom-crafted train ornaments, laser cut by Crawford Company and decorated by Jackson Autobody & Custom Paint, can be discovered at 30+ businesses in Downtown Rock Island. Those who find 10 holiday trains and turn in their completed stamp card will win a train ornament for their own tree.
November 20, 2025 - January 1, 2026
How to play:
- Pick up an official Train Hunt card at any participating business.
- Hunt for hidden trains as you explore downtown.
- Every time you find a train, the business will stamp your card.
- Collect 10 stamps to earn a souvenir train ornament for your own tree!
- Once you've completed your card, turn it in to receive your very own train ornament (while supplies last) and get entered into a drawing for a grand prize.
