Christmas in Kingsport: The Polar Express
Saturday is the perfect time to don your pajamas, hop aboard a literary train and enjoy a classic Christmas tale with a cup of hot chocolate.
Christmas in Kingsport – a three-week holiday celebration in downtown Kingsport – continues this week with a special event at the library on Saturday (Dec. 17). Beginning at 2 p.m. in the main auditorium, there will be a reading of the Chris Van Allsburg classic “The Polar Express” children’s book.
After the reading, there will be a showing of a Tom Hanks animated holiday movie, along with free popcorn and a cup of hot chocolate. This event is limited to 130 guests and the library welcomes people to show up in their pajamas.
The library will also be offering Christmas crafts and a special musical gift for kids in Glen Bruce Park. Finally, guests will be able to enjoy snow in the park from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. and then again from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
