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.
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 confirmed the visit earlier this week in Hershey in front of Santa’s nine reindeer, who are housed at the Hershey Park Christmas Candy Lane.
“The magic that makes Santa’s reindeer fly is a secret we’ll never tell,” Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “But Pennsylvania’s young and young at heart can nestle snug in their beds knowing the reindeer are healthy and ready to take flight.”
After making deliveries, the reindeer will return to the park where they will stay through January 1st.
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and State Veterinarian Dr. Alex Hamberg joined Santa Claus and his nine reindeer at Hershey Park for a special announcement on the reindeer’s planned flight across Pennsylvania on Christmas Eve. Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, Assistant State Veterinarian Dr. Erin Luley, PA Tourism Office Director Kaitie Burger, and Santa Claus were in attendance.
