Stephen Dunkelberg from Bixby, Oklahoma, used to own a landscaping business. He has decided to spread Christmas cheer by hanging lights on homes. Twenty two homes! It's his entire neighborhood!
He had a vision of lighting up all the houses on Stadium Road, which were previously dark during the holiday season. With a surplus of Christmas lights leftover from his business, Dunkelberg took on the task with no expectation of profit or recognition, but purely to bring joy to the community.
After getting his neighbors' consent, he spent two weekends installing the custom-cut lights for 22 of his neighbors free of charge.
Everyone agrees that the lights have really transformed their road, and it’s fostered a sense of connection among the residents. Dunkelberg believes so too and adds that it’s been a great way to get to know his neighbors. This is the second year that he’s made Stadium Road a festive and inviting attraction for the whole town and he says he intends to continue the tradition for as long as he’s able.
