Catsup with Santa 

Old man winter kept Santa Claus grounded in 2000 with single-digit temps, high winds, and 30 below zero wind chills. Folks were happy to see ole St. Nick make it to the Catsup Bottle this year.

A big thank you goes out to these fine folks for helping to make the
Catsup Bottle Santa possible:

IBEW LOCAL 309 & PYRAMID ELECTRIC: for providing the power source for Santa.
