Amherst’s 13 foot Santa guards Christmas for 15 years
A fiberglass Santa in Amherst has stood sentinel since 1981, after being rebuilt from a rooftop wreck in Lorain. Jack O Flanagan of Hot Dog Heaven bought the statue for 800 dollars, placing it outside the shop the day after Thanksgiving each year, with a storage routine during the off season and regular tune ups at Mullinax Ford. The Santa’s origin remains a mystery, with speculation linking it to Lorain Plaza, while the owner keeps the mystery alive and notes the unique figure’s continued holiday presence.
