	One of the earlier relics fo Rovaniemi tourist traps. By the highway that leads to Rovaniemi, in an old school building, operated a gift shop/cafe imaginatively called Santa's Workshop (i wonder how many Santa's workshops there has been in Rovaniemi over the years, and all of them have of course been the REAL one ;) ) The place closed down in the late 90s, but was still used as a storage in 2009. Some locals still remember the place from its imaginative advertising tactic. During tourist seasons, the place would hire a guy in a Santa outfit to sit in a lawn chair by the road and wave at the cars passing by. By the time i came around in the autumn of 2017 the doors were open and the place was trashed, but there was still plenty of old tourist tat to be seen. In 2018 the house burned down. The building had no running electricity and they could not determine the cause of fire, so i would guess arson Santa's Workshop 01 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 02 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 03 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 04 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 05 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 06 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 07 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 08 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 10 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 11 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 12 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 13 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 14 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 15 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 16 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 17 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 18 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 19 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 20 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 21 by false teeth, on Flickr Santa's Workshop 22 by false teeth, on Flickr

	Well that's completely weird. I would totally wear one of those hats! Will done. Photos are awesome. Reminds me of American roadside attractions.
