The Santa Train Tradition - Get It While You Can!

Jeff,

 

Do you think that you could post a challenge on your Kingsport blog and possibly your personal Facebook page?  If so, it would be neat to challenge followers to purchase a copy of The Santa Train Tradition while they are available in participating Food City Stores.

 

Please remind readers that proceeds from the sale of the book benefit the Santa Train Scholarship, which is awarded annually to a graduating high school senior along the train route. Thus far, the book has raised over $9,500 for the scholarship. Proceeds from the sale of the book also benefit the Literacy Council of Kingsport.

 

For those "friends" and followers located outside of the area, they can also purchase a copy online at www.thesantatraintradition.com or www.wordofmouthpress.us

 

Please remind everyone that, while giving back to the region, this little hardback book also makes a wonderful keepsake, encourages and promotes literacy, and it is an excellent Christmas present! Thank you so much for your help with this request.

www.MoveToKingsport.com is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the Eastern U.S. This city of 50,000 in a metro of 308,000, was planned by renowned American planner John Nolen in his office at Harvard Square. Located in the lush green foothills of the Tennessee Valley, it is surrounded by the Southern Highlands and mountain lakes. Kingsport is home to Marriott’s www.MeadowViewResort.com and thousands of acres of unique, natural amenities at Bays Mountain and Warriors Path Parks. The natural geography provides a temperate, well-balanced climate with four seasons and a natural shelter from extreme weather. Population growth has also been well-balanced, ensuring you will not outgrow your decision to relocate. With no personal property taxes, special assessments, or state income taxes on salaries/wages, you’ll find that Kingsport has a very low cost of living coupled with an exceptionally high quality of life (see for yourself at www.BestPlaces.net). The regional airport (TRI) has direct flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, Orlando and St. Pete/Clearwater with easy access, parking, and virtually no security lines. The public education system was planned by Columbia University and Newsweek has repeatedly recognized the local high school as one of the best in America. Year in and year out our graduates go on to the top colleges and universities (and without costly private school tuition fees). Harvard also recognized Kingsport in 2009 with the Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiative. What are you waiting for? It’s time to leave the high costs, traffic jams, and stress behind and discover this hidden gem.
