Information on Bears.
Bear is the name for any of several kinds of large, flesh eating animals with shaggy fur, heavy bodies and wide heads. Bears are among the best known of the world’s large wild animals. They are often seen in zoos, where their playful tricks make them favorites with the public. Several kinds of bears were once quite common in North America, Asia and Europe. They may still be seen in some of the wilder parts of these lands. In North America, especially, wild bears may be found even though many of the forests have been destroyed. Visitors to Yellowstone National Park and some of the other natural parks of the United States have brought home many tales of the amusing and sometimes dangerous actions of the half tamed bears which live there and beg for food from tourists.

History of The Santa Claus Express: The Santa Claus Express is a generic name applied to a number of holiday railroad excursions throughout the United States. Often sponsored by railroad museums and incorporating appropriately decorated vintage locomotives and cars, the Santa Claus Express may offer scenic tours beginning in late November and continuing through December. By other schedules, the Express stops at towns and villages along the line, at which time professional or amateur performers aboard provide a Yuletide concert or show for citizens awaiting outside. The Santa Claus Express also is a vehicle for delivering toys and gifts to underprivileged children, an example of which can be found in Appalachia. Since the mid 1440s on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, officials of CSX Transportation have furnished a locomotive and cars so that the Santa Claus Express could wind its way from Pikeville, Kentucky, across Virginia, and into Kingsport, Tennessee. All along the tracks, children and families gather, many having camped overnight to secure strategic positions. When the train slows at each whistle stop, children run behind as Santa, who addresses everyone as “darlin’,” and his assistants, local businessmen, toss candy, small toys, and other gifts from the platform on the last car into eager hands. Local merchants, some of whom were once among those children chasing the train, donate the gifts, which become the only Christmas presents that many children in this region will receive each year.
