Culver Christmas traditions through the years

December 24, 2012

Typical Christmas reports in the late 19th century pages of the Citizen focused on visits of residents to family members' homes for Christmas, as well as elaborate Christmas productions or services at one of Culver's churches, most commonly Grace Reformed (today Grace United Church of Christ) or the Methodist Episcopal Church on Main and Washington Streets.

By 1930, Culver had a "community Christmas tree," annually erected on the corner of Main and Jefferson Streets.

Culver residents have likely noticed the large "Culver Pizza" sign on State Road 10 at the former site of the Ten Spot restaurant and bar.

Fund-raisers help community support Schrimshers in health battles

December 8, 2012

Part of that is a bake sale to help the family offset expenses -- organized by longtime friend and classmate Anna Neher -- scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 15, starting at 8 a.m. at Park N Shop in Culver.
