Installation of a 16-foot tall Santa climbing the World's Largest Catsup Bottle was canceled due to bad weather and frigid temperatures for the last few weeks in Collinsville, Illinois. The metal Santa cutout was paid for with donations from schoolchildren and local businesses.
The Catsup Bottle Preservation Group promises Santa will be mounting the colossal condiment next year, and maybe sooner. According to spokesperson Mike Gassman, "We're going to pull a little something out of Santa's bag of tricks. "Without giving too much away, let's just say he'll be back sooner than you think!"
