Papillion Community Foundation Sponsors Winter Wonderland Event

The Papillion Community Foundation (www.papillionfoundation.org) is a proud sponsor of the 2016 Winter Wonderland Event, which was recently held on November 26th. This year’s event featured visits with super heroes, princesses, carriage rides and Ollie the Trolley rides, taking riders on a visit to see the lights in Papillion’s City Park. Free hot chocolate, popcorn and s’mores were provided by the Papillion Professional Firefighters Local #3767. The annual Chili Feed was held the same day at the downtown Papillion Fire Station.

The lighting ceremony, a tradition that kicks off the holiday season in Papillion, occurred promptly at 6 p.m. on the stage. Other events included visits with Santa held inside the historic Portal School, photos with live reindeer, and craft activities for all ages inside Sump Memorial Library. Fun characters including Frosty, Elsa and Anna also visited with children in various locations downtown. Performances of a variety of live musical entertainment included a community carol sing-a-long.

Founded in 1995, the Papillion Community Foundation works to fulfill its mission of identifying, developing and supporting community programs that enhance the quality of life in the Papillion community. In addition to Winter Wonderland the Papillion Community Foundation also hosts the long-running Papillion Days event.
