A Wisconsin family’s 100-year Easter tradition
When I sit down to celebrate Easter with loved ones this weekend, I’ll be thinking of the Koeckenbergs.
They’re a local family that has been celebrating Easter in the same way for 100 years. On Sunday, 60 members of the family will sit down for their annual celebration.
They’ll take their seats at three long tables — constructed years ago by Nancy Koeckenberg’s dad — and admire the festive tablecloths — sewn years ago by her mom.
Just like every year, the breakfast will be eaten in the small basement of Koeckenberg’s Greenfield home — built decades ago by her grandfather.
