Last night, Tekamah shone a little brighter as the Pop-Up Christmas Park officially opened its doors to the community! This enchanting holiday space, filled with lights, decorations, and festive cheer, is more than just a seasonal attraction—it’s a shining example of what our community can accomplish when we come together with a shared vision.

The creation of this magical park was a true team effort, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication, generosity, and creativity of so many incredible people:

🌟 Shawn Wenstrom and the Fifteen Fifteen Brewery Family
Their vision, determination, and hard work turned this dream into a reality.

🌟 Mark Peterson
From cutting down the tree to skillfully using a skid steer, Mark’s efforts made the park’s stunning centerpiece come to life.

🌟 Susanne Delisle
For her generous donation of the beautiful tree that now stands tall and proud in the park.

🌟 Jake Welchert
For providing the mulch that ties the park together with a polished and inviting look.

🌟 All Seasons Solutions
For donating their time and expertise to decorate the tree and the park’s perimeter with dazzling lights.

🌟 65+ Community Members and Friends of Tekamah
Their generous donations of over $5,000 brought this vision to life.

🌟 The City of Tekamah
For providing the space to create this winter wonderland.

🌟 Tekamah-Herman JAG Organization, led by sponsor Jamie Paul
For organizing opening night activities and planning fun events to keep the holiday spirit alive over the next three weeks.

This park is more than just lights and decorations—it’s a testament to Tekamah’s strength, pride, and sense of community. As Jeff Siegler once said:
“Real change happens when people take ownership of their community and make a conscious decision to care about where they live.”

Projects like the Pop-Up Christmas Park go beyond beautifying our town; they strengthen community bonds, attract visitors, and support local businesses. This is the kind of investment that not only builds pride in Tekamah but also creates opportunities for economic growth and a thriving future.

To everyone who contributed time, money, or expertise—thank you. Together, we’ve created something truly special that will be cherished for years to come. Let’s continue to celebrate our small-town spirit, support one another, and show the world the magic of Tekamah.

Happy Holidays! 🎅✨
