Santa's Village Mushroom: Restored and Fairy-Ready! (by )
Santa's Village amusement park in Scotts Valley was open 364 days a year from 1958 - 1979. Upon closure, the property was developed into the Borland Software campus. Hard for some of us to fathom, but the new occupants had little use for the amusement park fixtures! As a result, gingerbread gatehouses, giant candy canes, elf statues and ginormous mushrooms made their way from their enchanted location out into the world.
