WHERE HAS MILFORD'S PIRATE SHIPPE SANTA GONE?
2024 is the second Christmas Santa and his pirate shippe have been missing from the corner of Milford and Kitchener Roads and some people have been asking where he has gone. Unfortunately, Santa was in storage in Wairau Road and was damaged in the Anniversary Weekend floods in 2023. Murray Hill of the Milford Business Assn hopes to get funding for Milford's Santa to be rebuilt/replaced during 2025. Thanks to Ian Mueller for finding out about this. Damaged Santa: Santa 8.jpeg
