Santa’s House sits nestled behind a vendor and an ATM machine tent during the 47th annual Home County Music and Art Festival in Victoria Park.Speaking with Global News in July, Larizza said various issues had held up the move, including a May strike by the International Union of Operating Engineers, scheduling conflicts and needed permit approvals.
“So now we have an OK to move the house. So basically what we’re doing is we will be lining things up with Leo and with a crane team to come in and crane that house out of the current location at Victoria Park and bring it over to the market,” Fyfe-Millar said.“We would have liked to have had it moved out before the festivals came into place this year but that didn’t happen,” he said, citing issues around the permits.
Fyfe-Millar said it was his understanding that the building is also expected to be used as part of the outdoor farmers’ market. “I think it’s going to work well for the market as a whole, and I think it works well, too, for Leo and his team that the house won’t have to be taken down every year. There’s a cost associated with that. And now this is a cost that they won’t have to bear.”Winter flights to warmer locales to return to London, Ont. airport in December
