Santa Statues in Santa Claus, Indiana

Posted on July 21, 2010

If you've ever traveled to Santa Claus, Indiana, you know that we celebrate the holiday season 365 days a year. But have you ever noticed all of the varied Santa Claus statues scattered throughout the town? Outside in Kringle Place, I saw a family taking photos of their family members next to, and on top of, the oversized Santa statue outside of the Santa Claus Museum and Spencer County Visitors Bureau and it got me thinking... exactly how many Santas are in the town of Santa Claus?! There are a few statues that visitors can stand next to... some that are out of reach... a few that look down from above... and even others that are spread throughout the town. Do you know how many? Do you want to guess?! Now, this doesn't count all of the many Santa statues inside of the Santa Claus Christmas Store but there may be some nearby... There is a $20 gift certificate to the Santa Claus Christmas Store for the person who guesses the number of Santa statues in Santa Claus, Indiana (or get the closest) by Monday, July 26 at 10:00 am CDT. Statues must be at least 2-foot tall and found outdoors within the town limits.   All answers can be posted to the Santa Claus, Indiana Facebook page on the post with this topic.   Each person may only guess once and if there are several correct answers, a winner will be selected at random.   In order to play along and count the Santa statues, participants cannot be a local resident and must be at least 13 years of age. Can YOU count the Santa Claus statues in the town of Santa Claus? I've already told you where to find a few... can you find the rest?
