Since I'm on a Chrismas-y theme for some hides I've been trying to use some nearby references with Christmas and so Googled Hansen (and no the musically group Hanson was NOT what I wanted!)
But I found that there is an International Santa Claus Hall of Fame (who knew?!?) that has recgonzed Carl Hansen from Scotts Valley, CA. Carl was the official “Santa Trainer” for Santa’s Village Corporation’s three theme parks in the 1950s and 1960s.
As Santa, Hansen opened up the Skyforest, California Santa’s Village in 1955 and the Scotts Valley, California’s version in 1957. He also trained the Santas for the Dundee, Illinois Park.
So how do we get Santa Dude into the Santa HOF?!?!?
