JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Wynonna Judd will join Santa Claus aboard the 67th annual Santa Train this Saturday, Nov. 21, kicking off the holiday season for thousands of families in Appalachia.
Wynonna, along with her two children, will join Santa Train volunteers from the train’s sponsors CSX, Food City and the Kingsport Area Chamber of Commerce to distribute more than 15 tons of toys and gifts to thousands of people gathered at scheduled stops along the train’s route from Shelby, Ky, to Kingsport, Tenn. tracks. Riding the Santa Train marks Wynonna’s return to the Appalachian region after having grown up near the train’s route in Ashland, Ky.
 
“I decided to ride the Santa Train this year because I wanted to bring my children home to Appalachia for the holidays,” Wynonna said. “It is important to me for them to experience the joy of Christmas giving.”
 
Wynonna, winner of five Grammy awards and eight CMA awards, recently celebrated 25 years in the music business and will kick off her third annual ‘A Classic Christmas’ tour the weekend following Thanksgiving.
 
“The Santa Train is such a special way to begin the holiday season, and we are thrilled to have Wynonna join us for this wonderful event,” said Tori Kaplan, director of corporate citizenship and special events for CSX.
