Special Kentucky Postmarks Capture Holiday Spirit

USPS

Kentuckians looking to add a little extra flare to their Christmas cards this year can do so by adding one of the state’s special regional postmarks. 

David Walton with the U.S. Postal Service says the postmarks will be stamped at various post offices throughout the commonwealth.
 
“These offices happen to have names that sort of go with the holidays,” said Walton. “For example, we have ‘Bethlehem Station’, there’s Nazareth, Kentucky; we’ve even gotten Partridge, Kentucky and its station’s name is ‘Partridge in a Pear Tree Station’.  There are nine of them and they all have very unique designs, and we’re hoping that customers will take advantage of them.”

Other locations include Elkhorn City, Elkton, Miracle, Pine Knot, Pine Top and Pineville.

Those interested can address and place postage stamps on their cards, bundle them in a larger envelope and mail them to the chosen post office. The larger envelop needs to be postmarked by December 15th to make sure they’re delivered in time for Christmas.
