No Santa at the Airport Mall?

Could this be the year without a Santa? It very well could be at the Airport Mall on Union Street in Bangor!

According to ABC 7/Fox 22, the Airport Mall has told Michael Strout that his services as Santa are no longer needed this year! Strout has been Santa at the Airport Mall for the past 10 years

There's no word whether WP Realty, the owners of the mall will be bringing in another Santa, or if they will do without this year.
