KINGSPORT â The 79th annual Santa Train event will take place Saturday, Nov. 20, Santa Train sponsors announced Wednesday.
Due to ongoing concerns about COVID-19, and considering the amount of advance time it takes to make plans, organizers said they will once again hold drive-thru distributions at four Food City locations rather than host a traditional, multi-stop running of the train.
âPlanning the Santa Train takes several months, so the decision to hold our drive-thru gift event was made out of an abundance of caution in light of ongoing concerns about COVID-19,â said Bryan Tucker, vice president of corporate communications at CSX. âWe look forward to continuing the tradition of giving back to the area and are pleased to spread holiday cheer and lift spirits this November.â

Local pediatricians are teaming up in a new Pike County Health Department campaign to promote the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, debunk common vaccine myths and encourage parents and guardians to vaccinate their 12-15 year-old children.

All Kentuckians who are 12 years old and older can receive the two-dose Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, and all Kentuckians 16 years old and older can receive the two-dose Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, as well as the single-dose Johnson&Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
