Holiday tradition meets an untraditional year in Seward, Nebraska
seward

Residents and visitors look forward to Seward, Nebraska’s “Christmas Traditions to Treasure” event each year. The nostalgic affair feels like it could have inspired a Norman Rockwell painting.

This year marked the celebration’s 10th anniversary, and organizers knew that the show must go on. To make the event safe, but keep the holiday spirit center stage, the lighted evening Christmas parade went in reverse. Floats were stationed at five locations throughout the area, and families could stay in their cars for safe viewing.

Our favorite was the float with our own Javier from York, Nebraska and his family – and they even let the Grinch and Santa in on the fun. 

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Make sure to tag us on FacebookInstagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
