Hi All
For anyone interested in the Clinchfield Santa Train Run I have cut and pasted the following information out of local articles. From what I have read there will be a lot of individuals chasing this train.
Santa’s Depot is a BRAND NEW event packed with children’s activities prior to the arrival of the
75 th Annual Santa Train. On Saturday, November 18 th from 1pm-4pm, Kingsport TN.
Kingsport’s Centennial Park will come alive with Christmas magic. The event will host LIVE reindeer and will serve as the official drop off location for “Letters to Santa”. Booths will offer a variety of activities from holiday airbrush tattoos, cookie decorating, making paperchain garland to a learning experience with Professor Photon and his marshmallow shooter. Inflatables, a kids train and food truck vendors will be onsite as well.
Live entertainment and holiday performances will be hosted throughout the day. Around 3pm, the Santa Train will make its final stop in Kingsport. Santa and Ricky Skaggs will perform from the Santa Depot stage.
This event is family-friendly. An activity passport will be distributed to children ONLY. All activities are at no cost.
The 75th running of CSX's Santa Train on former Clinchfield Railroad tracks in Appalachia will have two posters this year. The Kingsport-Area Chamber of Commerce will be selling versions featuring Clinchfield F3 No. 800 leading the consist as well as recently repainted SD45 No. 3632.
