12/11/2025

Small Town with Big Christmas Spirit!

What an incredible Christmas weekend in Wild Rose! From the Cookie Walk to the parade, the tree lighting, Santa’s gift giving, and the pizza dinner — this community supported like never before

To everyone who participated -
To every family who came out in the cold -
To every child who helped bring the holiday magic -
And to every single person who donated toys, money, time, or energy -
THANK YOU. 🙌

Your generosity helped make sure kids across Waushara County had a brighter Christmas.
Your smiles and spirit filled our streets with true small-town joy. Your willingness to volunteer, donate, participate, decorate, set up, clean up, and give back is exactly what makes Wild Rose special.

This weekend wasn’t just an event — it was a reminder of what community really means.
We are proud, grateful, and beyond blessed to be part of this village.

From all of us: Merry Christmas, and thank you for helping spread the joy. ❤️🎅🎄

The Christmas🎄 Spirit was brought to life today in Wild Rose.

Cookie walk 🍪 was a HUGE success with all 100 tins sold!

The 1st ever Christmas parade was a blast! 💥

And that spirit of Christmas was renewed with kids getting to see Santa and open some 🎁 presents!

’Twas the night before Christmas in Wild Rose, and all through the town,
The lights twinkled warmly as snow drifted down.
The Cookie Walk waited with goodies to share,
Tins filled with warm gooey goodness — sweetness filling the air.

From 1PM to 4PM on Saturday, December 6,
Families and friends came to stroll and to mix.
Only 100 tins available, sold ’til they’re gone —
A small-town Christmas tradition bringing a new dawn!

Then at 5PM sharp, with the evening sky bright,
The Christmas Parade marched in pure holiday light.
With the theme “Spreading Christmas Joy,” it rolled down the street,
And the Community Tree Lighting making the magic complete.

But the fun doesn’t stop — oh no, no tricks,
on Sunday, December 7th from 10-6,
kids will pour Into town for Gifts and a Visit with Santa so sweet,
Where families of Waushara County and children will meet.

So come join the joy, the cookies, the lights,
The laughter, the giving, the magical night.
Wild Rose is glowing — the season is bright…
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! ❤️
