Press About Us
.......If you’re looking to learn more about reindeer, look no further than Noel Productions of Osseo, where the Fritz family raises a herd of real, live reindeer. “We really cherish our reindeer herd,” said Hannah Fritz, a second-generation reindeer farmer...." .....Constantly on the go from late November through December, leasing some of his animals for events in Oshkosh, LaCrosse and Madison.....It's a unique industry," said Fritz, who named his company Noel Productions.... "You can never beat out Santa Claus and reindeer.... people don't forget reindeer," Fritz said. |
..... Rather than dressing as storybook elves, the Fritz family dons authentic Laplander garb when displaying their reindeer. Their costumes help them educate the public about the history of human-reindeer interaction and the species’ cultural importance to the Laplanders – or Sami people – who live in northern Scandinavia, Finland, and Russia. Around the North Pole, reindeer – who are cousins to caribou – are raised for meat, hides, antlers, milk, and (yes, it’s true) transportation. The family and their reindeer are as busy as Santa’s elves during the Christmas season, but everybody’s ready to rest by the New Year, especially the cows, who begin calving in mid-April....“The biggest thing about it is people really do enjoy them,” Fritz says of the reindeer. And while adults are fascinated by their historical and cultural importance, he adds, “Kids really get a kick out of reindeer and Santa Claus.” |
...Many families have Christmas traditions. For the Fritz family, the holidays mean loading a trailer up with reindeer, hitting the road, and stopping at schools and holiday events to show their animals.The family – Jeff, his wife, Terri, and their children Hans, Hannah, 15, and Sven, 13 – has raised reindeer, elk and other nontraditional livestock on their farm near Osseo, south of Eau Claire, for more than 20 years. They’ve been showing their reindeer for the past 12 years. “We have a tradition of going out on the road,” said Jeff Fritz, 48, noting that as each Christmas nears they begin traveling the region. This week the family made a hometown stop at the Osseo school, giving children a chance to pet their reindeer and camel, Nora. The kids gawked at the animals, who remained calm while being petted. The animals’ calm demeanor isn’t accidental. Jeff said the family breeds the reindeer for temperament, noting that it can take a couple of generations to breed calm reindeer that are good around children. For the Fritz children, raising reindeer always has been a part of their lives. “It’s something that’s in their blood,” Jeff Fritz said..." |
