(Hershey, Pa) Pennsylvania officials joined Santa Claus and his magical team of nine reindeer at Hersheypark to announce that the team has received clearance from the Department of Agriculture veterinarians to embark on their Christmas Eve journey across Pennsylvania.

Santa’s nine reindeer — Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph — received the all-clear from Dr. Sarah Coburn, Alaska’s state veterinarian to fly to Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania State Veterinarian Dr. Alex Hamberg and Assistant State Veterinarian Dr. Erin Luley reviewed Alaska’s Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and declared the team healthy, allowing them to fly from rooftop to rooftop for the purposes of toy delivery to the well-behaved children of Pennsylvania. These certificates are required as an assurance that contagious diseases are not carried across state lines.
