    These photographs celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Howell Chamber of Commerce in 1999.   They feature pictures of Joe Anne Swann's  Fantasy Land Village  and include newspaper articles about it. For over 20 years, until 1985, this village hosted visitors to Santa's Igloo each December.

    Starting in 1959, Howell businesswoman, Joe Ann Swann, owner of Joe Anne's Sportswear (108 East Grand River Avenue, Howell, Michigan), created a Fantasy Land for Christmas on Livingston County Courthouse lawn.  Nearly every year, the display, sponsored by the Howell Chamber of Commerce, featured Santa's Igloo, and other fairy tale figures created by Mrs. Swann.

    Santa's Igloo hosted visitors to see Santa, and the display later featured a Candy Castle, the Three Little Pigs, and an Elves Workshop.
