This month, we are full of gratitude. WE live in a vibrant community that has a gigantic all city Halloween party with hundreds of glowing carved pumpkins, a community that comes out and celebrates the coming of the Yuletide season with a community cookie walk, caroling, tree lighting and a Trolley; a community that searches for ways to make sure that we all feel that we belong. Are we perfect? No, but we keep trying. It’s the Waupaca Way. Thank you Waupaca, for supporting the arts and for being such a generous community in so many ways!
