Last weekend, Metro Brokers Grand Junction reserved the Avalon Theater in downtown Grand Junction for a private showing of the Christmas movie, “Polar Express.”  Santa (Rick Thurtle) and his helper (Steph Dickey) were there to greet the children and pose for photos.

Between 400-500 people showed up to the movie, and all attendees were treated to free popcorn and soda. Many of the adults and our agents had not seen Polar Express prior to the event, so all were treated to a wonderful Christmas surprise!
