RANTOUL, Wis.— Troy Campbell brought some Christmas magic to the rural town of Rantoul, which is about a fifty-minute drive south of Green Bay. After 14 years of spreading joy in Kaukauna, he and his family of helpers have settled into their new home.

“When I first started 15 years ago, I dressed as Santa. I sat in a chair. I set one display for me and I waved to people as they drove by. That’s the start. Now I have enough to qualify for my own zip code,” said Campbell.

Santa greets each guest at the entrance but the highlight of this North Pole may not be the guy in the red suit. Instead, mechanized figures called animatronics are featured in 26 different scenes, put together by Campbell. Some are even chosen by visitors.

“Children write in the guestbook what they want to see for next year and if I get enough responses, I’ll go ahead and build it,” said Campbell.

Troy recently purchased a house on six acres of land. It fulfilled a dream he had for his Christmas Village, which now sits amongst farm fields on a country road.

“I wanted to be out in the country. This is now a destination. You’re actually driving out to the North Pole. When I was in Kaukauna, I had a neighbor every 40 feet. Here I’ve got a neighbor every half mile. They all love it. They love the activity coming back out here,” said Campbell.

There’s no charge to visit but canned food items are accepted… Santa will deliver them to local food banks. Katie Dalebroux and her children drove down from Green Bay to check it out.

“We love the Christmas spirit and especially right now when we’re not able to go to as many places as we’d like to. This is something that was fun to do and safe,” said Dalebroux.

Campbell built a 40 x 60 addition to an existing garage in the spring which allows for new displays this year. He worked with a builder in New York to create the characters. Then he and his helpers needed to put it all together.

“About the middle of August is when we trucked everything up here by semi in crates and boxes. I assembled everything, positioned stuff out how it had to be and I finished up two weeks before Thanksgiving,” said Campbell.

Campbell won’t say which display is his favorite.

“It’s like asking who’s your favorite child. I like ‘em all. Every one tells a story. Everything has something behind it that certain people like.”

Campbell loves to see children walking through the village. His driving force behind all of these efforts however is to have a place for seniors and people with disabilities to enjoy Christmas magic.

“That’s my mission in life. To bring them joy and happiness and try to get them to fit in,” said Campbell.

Private showings were available this year and the response was overwhelming. He hopes to build on it next year.

“I had 48 openings and I had maybe a thousand inquiries,” said Campbell.

He seems right at home at his new North Pole, which will remain open through Jan. 1, though Santa won’t be available anymore this year.
