Alaska’s Santa to the Villages tradition lives on amidst COVID-19 pandemic [Image 4 of 9]
Santa (a Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak aviator) gives the thumbs up sign, Dec. 15, 2020, while participating in the annual Santa to the Villages tradition of delivering presents to students and families living in remote Alaskan villages.
Santa to the Villages has been part of Base Kodiak’s holiday tradition since 1974 when a Coast Guard pilot noticed the children in Kodiak’s remote villages had limited opportunities to interact with Santa and receive gifts.
