'Country Christmas' Pictorial Postmark

 “Country Christmas” will be released on the Winter Solstice, Dec. 21.

The postmark will be available at the Hutchinson Post Office for 30 days after the solstice. Patrons must specifically request it at the counter, since it’s a custom hand-stamp, but there’s no extra charge other than the normal postage fee.  The new “Country Christmas” postmark is now the third one that Michael Hinton has done through Hutchinson Post Office. 

“Anyone in the world can order this postmark,” Hinton said. “They can come into Hutchinson, or they can send a self-addressed stamped envelope, or if they want to mail it to somebody, they can include the postage, and it’ll be canceled with this postmark.”
