Important Press Briefing: Ole St. Nick Climbs The World's Largest Catsup Bottle!
According to fanatical local boosters, a new holiday tradition has started in Collinsville, Illinois. A 16 ft high, 400 pound Santa Claus wrapped in garland and lights, can now be viewed climbing the World's Largest Catsup Bottle. Santa had to stay in storage last year because of continuous snowfall, temperatures in the
single digits, and wind chills of minus 40 degrees. But the rest did
him some good and now he's on the world famous water tower for all
to see! We hope to have created some nice holiday memories for
residents and travelers alike."
