This week, I sit down with THE Santa Claus! Ron Thompson, or
Steel City
Santa, has been bringing cheer to the boys and girls of
Pittsburgh for three decades. You heard me! 30 years ago he pushed
Santa off the roof, put on his suit, and BOOM! Now he’s the Big
Guy! All joking aside, Ron happened to fall into the role of Santa
all by chance. When Ron isn’t wearing the suit, he helps his
significant other run the shop, Spotlight
Costumes. They specialize in all sorts of costumes from
theatrical to Santa Suits. Well, 30 years ago there was a word on
the street that Gateway
Clipper was looking for someone to take over the gig. The rest
is history. Celebrating his 31st year as Father Christmas, Ron and
I sit down for a great talk about his memories of Christmas growing
up and all the memories he has from his years as Santa Claus. Enjoy
it!
