Flemington, Pa. â If this old photograph of Santa's "reindeer" sends you straight down memory lane, you may be from Lock Haven.
Generations of Lock Haven locals fondly remember the elaborate, whimsical Christmas displays by the late Ben Cardamone, of Flemington.
From 1958 until he passed away in 2000, Mr. Cardamone created the displays at his home near Hillview Street in Flemington Borough.
"He worked so hard every year on it. He loved seeing people drive by,"Â said Angela Cardamone Campos, granddaughter of Ben and Anne Cardamone.
Mr. Cardamone, a former union leader at Piper Aircraft Co., added motors to his displays. He made Santa's hand wave and rigged deer heads to bob up and down into a bucket of apples.
