We want to thank everyone who helped make our recent Christmas Market such a success. We loved spending the evening with all of you – sharing in the spirit of the holidays and supporting some incredible work taking place in our community. Together we raised over $6,000 to benefit Keep Omaha Beautiful and their efforts to make our city an even healthier and more beautiful place to live and work every day – planting trees, revitalizing vacant lots, and engaging our community in environmental stewardship. And we couldn’t have done it without you.
During the evening, we hope you had the chance to stop and visit with the team from Keep Omaha Beautiful. If you’ve noticed a storm drain labeled to prevent the dumping of hazardous materials or large groups of people planting new trees or cleaning litter from a park, you’ve seen some of the valuable work that Keep Omaha Beautiful and their army of dedicated volunteers do every year for our community. Thanks to engaging projects with an eye toward helping folks understand the direct link they share with our natural environment, thousands of folks have donated their time and talent to this amazing effort.
And this year, we evolved what was previously known as our Holiday Gala into a truly local shopping experience, the Christmas Market – inviting eleven local makers, artists, and shops to join the fun, including Wax Buffalo, Artifact, Sweet Magnolias Bake Shop, Fontenelle Supply Co., Lola’s, and more. We’re grateful for all who came and supported our friends who make the Omaha area the place it is.
Thank you again for being a part of our Christmas Market and supporting the important work taking place at Keep Omaha Beautiful. It’s always fun to have you here, and we hope you’ll stop in and see us again this holiday season.
