The Santa Train and Tons of Toys

The Santa Train made its trip yesterday. The Kingsport and Bristol papers both have reports and video.

Singer Kathy Mattea went along for the 110 mile ride. The toys are what the train is known for. Tons of toys!

More commonly called the Santa Train, the cooperative effort of the Kingsport Area Chamber of Commerce, Food City and CSX Transportation distributed more than 15 tons of gifts Saturday at 14 stops from Shelby, Ky., to downtown Kingsport.

A big thank you to the above mentioned and all the other volunteers that keep this coalfield tradition alive.
