The weather tonight for Christmas Eve looks like great flying weather for Santa Claus, and the state’s Department of Agriculture says the reindeer look good to go as well.
Secretary Russell Redding was joined by Jolly Ol’ St. Nick himself, Kris Kringle.
“Always good to see you Santa and we thank you for taking good care of these reindeers. We very much appreciate in their preparation for this long and important flight that they will take,” Redding said. “These reindeers have been cleared, they are in good health, we are in good spirits, and we are ready for this Christmas Eve and these reindeer to fly around this Commonwealth and around the world.”
Redding spoke earlier this week in Hershey in front of Santa’s nine reindeer, who are housed at the Hershey Park Christmas Candy Lane.
After making deliveries tonight, the reindeer will return to the park where they will stay through January 2nd.
