🎄 Yes, it’s July — but we’re already working to make Christmas 2025 extra special 🇺🇸

The Mandan Progress Organization is in the fundraising phase for a meaningful new addition to the Holiday Lights on Main: a patriotic Military Tribute Display honoring the brave men and women who serve and have served our country.

This new landmark includes eight separate lighted features:
✨ A 27-ft animated RGB Christmas tree glowing red, white, and blue
🌟 A 4-ft star topper
🔰 Seven 4 ft insignias wrapping the base of the tree representing each military branch: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, and ND National Guard

It’s weather-resistant, built to shine day or night, and designed to be a powerful centerpiece of the 2025 holiday season.

💡 We’re aiming to finalize funding by the end of August to ensure it arrives in time—and we’re looking for 20 community sponsors.

Special thanks to early supporters: Dakota Community Bank & Trust, Mandan Lions Club, American Legion - Mandan, VFW Bismarck, Mandan Eagles, Mandan Moose Lodge, and others.

📩 Want to be part of this heartfelt tribute?
