The weather 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.
The reindeer received a certificate of inspection from Pennsylvania’s top veterinarian with clearance granted for stops around the world including in all 67 counties across the state.
Secretary Russell Redding spoke earlier this week in Hershey in front of Santa’s nine reindeer, who are housed at the Hershey Park Christmas Candy Lane.
“Even though Pennsylvania families have different traditions, it’s important to recognize that whatever you celebrate this is a magical time of year,” Redding said. “Our traditions may differ, but the spirit of the season remains the same. The time with friends is what makes the season so special.”
After making deliveries, the reindeer will return to the park where they will stay through January 1st.
