From Vision to Reality – Christmas Company’s Logistics Success in Grand Prairie’s Holiday Lighting
The Challenge
For six years, Christmas Company had the privilege of working with the City of Grand Prairie, a heavily decorated city during the holiday season. The initial project involved installing a 30-foot tree, wrapping lamp posts, decorating individual trees, and enhancing Market Square with festive elements. As the partnership evolved, Christmas Company was entrusted with expanding the project into new areas, including additional wreaths, bows, garlands, 32 trees, and an impressive walkthrough display. However, the biggest challenge lay in the complex logistics and coordination required to bring these visions to life across the city.
