Since I can’t be on the dock to greet Santa in Rockport later today (1 PM), I will have to settle for this recent purchase from Fred Bodin’s collection available at Cape Ann Auction. According to Walt Kolenda at the store, this probably dates from the 70s. This week’s Gloucester Daily Times noted this event has been taking place since sometime in the 70s so perhaps this is an early version. Perhaps some GMG readers have insight as to a more specific date?? And is that Mike Tupper at the helm with the Halibut Point t-shirt?? Gotta love Santa’s sneakers. I’d be wearing some pretty solid footwear if that was me!! Great job to all the Santas and their drivers out there.
Good Morning Gloucester 
That’s my father Bill Drohan. I’m guessing 1987-88.

Santa earth shoes and some of the dressing up I would say either the 1960’s or 1970’s would be a good era! 🙂 Dave & Kim 🙂 Thanks for sharing…
