Getting Ready for the Season - July 15th 2009
We have been working hard on the Light, Music Show, and website the past few months and we are starting to make some real progress!
This years show is going to be bigger and better. Our main focus right now is finding sponsors for the event. We generated a huge amount of food from the donations last years show but we also require additioanal funds to off set the expensive equipment used at the house for the show.
This is a great opportunity for your business to advertise and give back to the community and the needy. All sponsors advertising our provided resources online and at the house. Please contact gpanderson@christmasinwadena.com to have all your questions answered. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2010 TORNADO SHOW
95% of all my efforts went to tornado recovery. June 17th 2010, Minnesota had a record 28 tornado's. A EF4-EF5 hit the city of Wadena that day. We had tornado warning's, straight line winds and the most crazy weather the entire summer! I never want to hear the National Weather Service Warning as often ever again! The show was dedicated to all the Red Cross, Salavation Army, National Guard, numerous law enforement agencies, fire departments and thousands of volunteers.
2011 show is complete
With my home being put back together after the tornado last year, my time was at a premium. I made and added the angels on the roof and all the peppermint candy cane lights. WOW....the support of the area, word on the street, media coverage continues to grow and grow.
