CP Holiday Train rocks CK (VIDEO & GALLERY)

Chatham-Kent residents who headed over to the John Bradley Centre were treated to a great show as the CP Holiday Train made its stop in Chatham Friday afternoon.

Well over a thousand people made the crowd in the parking lot next to the train tracks to catch the performance of JoJo Mason and headliner Sam Roberts Band.

First to hit the stage was JoJo Mason, who did his own rendition of some Christmas classics to get those in attendance into the holiday spirit.

After JoJo left the stage, CP representatives presented the Chatham Outreach for Hunger with a $5,000 cheque and Chatham-Kent-Leamington MPP Rick Nicholls said a few words about how much great the community is for supporting the food bank.

Once the presentation and speeches were done, it was time for the main event.

Sam Roberts was then joined on stage by the big man himself.

Roberts was only supposed to play for about 15 minutes but ended up going on for over half an hour, playing a mix of his hits and Christmas classics.
