Normally you don’t associate Santa Claus with Earth Day, but on Saturday -- Earth Day -- Santas from across Indiana descended upon Greencastle.

People driving along State Road 240 just east of Greencastle Saturday might have seen a few sleighs parked around Big Bounce Fun House Rentals as several Santas and Mrs. Clauses from all over the state visited Big Bounce Fun House Rentals for a Santa convention at the company’s new warehouse.

“We’re not the North Pole but Big Bounce Fun House Rentals was home Saturday for all our Santas,” Susan Lorimer, Big Bounce owner, said.

“Santas train throughout the year and have many projects they work on,” she explained. “From learning about home visits, corporate events, suits, contracts and more these Santas do it all -- of course, supported by their Mrs. Claus.”

Big Bounce Santas do visits throughout the year but are busiest, of course, throughout the Christmas season. Interested persons can book their Santa by calling 1-866-JUMP-TOO.

After a long day of training on Saturday, the Santas partied, trying their hands at Big Bounce casino games along with enjoying lots of food by Mrs. Claus and cookies, too.

Meanwhile, Greencastle’s own Figgy Hardwick rocked it out with music and extreme bingo, doing his best perhaps to make the Santas’ nice list.
