About SantaLar

Back in 2004, SantaLar and four of his friends donned some gay apparel to crash a few holiday celebrations at various drinking establishments in State College. At that time we knew nothing about SantaCon or Santarchy, we just thought this was a fun way to meet chicks. Little did we know that it would grow into State College's largest adult holiday celebration where hundreds of Santas would roam the streets of this little borough. We may not match NYC et al in sheer numbers but as a percentage of population, our little event might top them all.
