Shuttered roadside attraction launches auction. Want a 7-foot Santa?

A virtual auction is underway for nostalgia pieces once used at the now-closed Shell Factory & Nature Park, a Fort Myers roadside attraction. 

Hosted by Fort Myers Auction, the goal is to liquidate remaining inventory from the 86-year-old entertainment destination that closed in September. The owners, in shutting down the facility and listing the property for sale, said “ongoing maintenance and necessary repairs are costly” and while “significant investments to sustain the Shell Factory’s continued operations (have been made), the sad reality is that the park is no longer viable in its current form.”
