# Surfing Santas

Surfing Santas is an annual festival held in Cocoa Beach, Florida, on Christmas Eve. Participants dress up as Santa Claus and surf, while thousands of spectators watch from the beach, which hosts a costume competition and live music.

## Event

Surfing Santas is a free beach party held between 8 a.m. and noon on Christmas Eve at the Minutemen Causeway area of Cocoa Beach, Florida; the Santas surf from 10 a.m.
It attracts hundreds of surfers, traditionally dressed as Santa Claus but some also wearing elf, reindeer, and Grinch costumes, as well as thousands of spectators every year. Local food stalls open on the beach for the event. A live band plays music at the event, which also features a costume competition and Hawaiian dancers. Festival regulars include "Mr. and Mrs. Surfing Santa" – Clifford "Peanut" and Terrie Keuhner. The festival collects charity donations for the Florida Surf Museum and Grind For Life. The festivals have raised over $90,000 for local charities. As Cocoa Beach is on the Space Coast, themed shirts depicting Santa in space are sold at the event.

## History

Cocoa Beach has a prominent surfing history, and is considered a capital of the activity. Surfing Santas began in 2009, started by George Trosset and his family, and since 2014 the event has been organized along with the Florida Surf Museum. Trosset grew up in Rockledge, Florida, and was around surfing Santa iconography from his childhood. He moved to Cocoa Beach to take over his grandfather's boat shop in 1979, selling the business in 1998. Inspired by a Honda commercial showing surfers driving to the beach on Christmas and surfing while wearing Santa hats and white beards, Trosset decided to expand on this and make it a Christmas tradition. His wife made him a Santa costume and he went out surfing on Christmas Eve 2009 with his children; Florida Today photographer Rik Jesse was at the beach, and published photographs he took of Trosset in the Christmas Day paper. As he intended, Trosset continued his tradition, inviting along friends and drawing crowds of similar-minded people. The surfing Santas all convened near Trosset's beach house, but grew too numerous in 2013. Cocoa Beach city council then approved organizing the event downtown.
In 2018, around 10,000 people attended, 75% of which spent more than one day for their visit, creating Christmas tourism in the area. Beach Grit suggested that Surfing Santas had become Cocoa Beach's biggest claim to fame, overtaking Kelly Slater. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the event continued in 2021; it had been held virtually in 2020, though several hundred people still went to the beach to surf as Santa without the festival.

# HVDC Lehrte–Misburg

HVDC Lehrte–Misburg was an experimental high-voltage direct current transmission line between Hannover-Misburg and Lehrte-Ahlten substation. It was designed by Erwin Otto Marx and served to assess the reliability of its components in continuous service, namely the converters which were based on arc discharges in air in contrast to other projects which use mercury vapour rectifiers. At this time, PreussenElektra had installed a second cable between their transformer stations near Lehrte and Misburg. This was used for the experiments which initially only ran for a few hours at night time due to the requirements for a steady supply of electrical power, and which were extended to two or three days in 1944. The plant went into service in 1942 and was designed for the transmission of up to 16 MW at a voltage of 80 kV. The experiments were conducted at a voltage of 75 kV, and a power of 6 to 7 MW on average and 12 MW at maximum was transmitted. They ceased after the Misburg transformer station suffered bomb damage on 18 June 1944. The setup was dismantled after World War II.

# Hermosa Inn

The Hermosa Inn is a small boutique hotel located in the Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley near 32nd Street and Camelback Road. Though not as well known as some of the larger resort hotels in Phoenix, the Hermosa Inn has been highly rated by AAA and Fodor's.
The Hermosa Inn has been ranked #1 Hotel in the Southwest in 2017 and 2018 in the Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards.

## History

Cowboy artist Alonzo "Lon" Megargee purchased 6 acres (24,000 m$^2$) of land in what is now considered Paradise Valley in 1935. He built his studio of adobe bricks in the middle of the site and kept adding to it, calling his home Los Arcos and later Casa Hermosa, meaning "beautiful house."
Megargee had no formal plans for the building. Influenced by architecture he had studied in Spain and Mexico, he used old wooden beams from an abandoned mine and poured a mixture of oil and ash from the roof to age the exterior walls. Due to the extended length of the stays of many of his guests, Megargee began running a guest ranch to supplement his artist's income. Local law enforcement suspected that Megargee used the ranch for illegal gambling, so he constructed a tunnel from the main building to the stables to provide an easy escape into the desert should the law make a surprise visit.
The Hermosa Inn is allegedly haunted by the ghost of its original owner, Alonzo Megargee. Guests and hotel staff have reported seeing the lanky cowboy in the inn. He is also believed to be the culprit behind toilets flushing on their own, he’s also known to break glasses and bottles late at night. Staff have reported encountering the ghost of “Lon”, appearing as a shadow wearing a cowboy hat.
Succeeding owners renamed the property Hermosa Inn, and added a pool, tennis courts, casitas, and villas. In 1987, a fire severely damaged the original building.
The property was purchased by Fred and Jennifer Unger in 1992. Following restoration of the adobe walls, charred beams, and ironwork in the main building, the property re-opened in 1994, again as the Hermosa Inn, with a restaurant - "Lon's at the Hermosa", named for Lon Megargee - occupying the original building. In 1995 the Hermosa Inn was featured in Waiting to Exhale. Whitney Houston's character celebrates New Year's Eve in Lon's main dining room.
In May 2015, the Ungers sold the resort to Allred Capital LLLP, a partnership led by Ron Allred and Mike Allred. While still retaining the historic charm of the original hacienda built by the cowboy artist as his home and studio, the Allreds have improved upon the overall guest experience for future generations by adding a new entryway, resort lobby, a renovation to the historic rancho casitas, an expansion to LON’s Last Drop and the addition of multiple casitas, bringing it to its current total of 43 accommodations.
