Christmas in Pioneertown
Santa Claus came down Pioneertownโs Mane Street in a covered wagon on December 25, 1947. Pioneertown wasnโt a year old yet, but it was bustling with building and plans. The population had almost reached its peakโฆ there โwere about 300 people, 68 horses, 43 dogs, 29 cats, 4 canaries, 2 Love Birds and 1 parrot. Eight shops had been built along Mane Street and half a dozen homes had been completed around town. There were a few more homes and a motel in Rimrock.
