Meanwhile the design for conversion of the white Dairy Barn at Warrior Canine Connection continues to proceed with more pressure to complete the project.
The completed conversion will provide much needed spaces.

The coming of Christmas and Santa Claus is much anticipated, especially in Hanover PA. The local news paper posted some of the children's artwork in their front windows for all to see. Visiting Santa's Cabin is a long tradition in this town, generations recall and look forward to the fun and excitement.
As Santa's deadline looms ahead, steady careful work helped us beet his deadline. The cabin building story continues...
'Santa's Cabin' construction moved into more of a 'detail phase' once the logs were assembled. In these pictures you'll see some of the next steps that might be hard to notice after completion... well except the staining of the logs....
As Santa's Cabin progresses, we cut out the window openings and build the gable ends....
The Logs for Santa's Cabin being assembled, we move on to the rafters, door opening and trimming the ends of the logs.

Santa's Cabin, Each log being cut to fit.

Santa's Cabin is only in the square of Hanover PA from Thanksgiving until the first of the year and so it has been on a trailer for decades. In these pics the new logs are being cut and fitted together as the new Santa's Cabin begins to take shape.
'Santa's Cabin' in Hanover PA. There has been a long standing tradition in Hanover that Santa visits the children in this cabin. We understand the cabin was donated to the community in the 1930's. The poor old cabin was suffering from rot and decay and through donations the community wanted to improve Santa's accommodations. Please stay tuned as more images will follow!
An interesting project to have seen at the building museum. One of their many displays that are temporarily set up on a seasonal rotation.
