Celebrate the Holidays in the Trackside District!

One highlight you won’t want to miss is the Holiday Village, a whimsical display created by the talented children of our community. Using building blocks, they’ve crafted imaginative structures that are now showcased in the Idea Box on the main floor of the community building. On December 7, we’ll celebrate their creativity with a special awards ceremony, where trophies will be awarded for Best Construction, Holiday Cheer, Narrative, Outdoor Space, and Most Creative. This exciting event is made possible by the City of Columbus Engineering Department, Columbus Area Children's Museum, Columbus Public Library, Columbus Parks and Recreation, and the Trax Creative District. Stop by and admire these delightful designs and be watching for the date and time of the awards ceremony and come out an support these young creators!

This holiday season, embrace the spirit of giving by helping the Trax Creative District bring a lasting piece of art to our community. The district hopes to make Tatanka, the stunning buffalo bench currently featured in the Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska, a permanent fixture in Frankfort Square. To achieve this, they need your support to raise $6,800. This unique sculpture would become a cherished centerpiece for our downtown, symbolizing creativity and community pride. Donations can be made through the Columbus Parks Foundation at PO Box 1677, Columbus, NE 68602-1677. Your generosity will leave a meaningful mark for generations to come!
