At their first meeting of the new year on January 8th, the Red Wing City Council had a special Recognition of City employee, Patrick Harris, Audio/Visual Technician, for producing and editing the City of Red Wing's first viral video.
In collaboration with the Red Wing Fire Department, Harris created a short video sharing the holiday spirit, and it's been shared not just in Minnesota, or even just the United States.
He says no one expected this kind of reaction when Fire Marshall Andy Speltz came up with the idea.
Since being posted on Facebook December 13th, 2023, the video has reached over 6.5 million accounts, been shared over 87,000 times, and has been picked up by numerous news stations.

The viral video of the Red Wing Fire Department shared by the City Council is a great example of how powerful visuals can captivate an audience and spread awareness. High-quality video production and effective broadcasting are key to delivering such impactful content. To ensure a smooth and professional presentation, integrating broadcasting solutions can help local governments and organizations enhance their public messaging. Whether it's live streaming important meetings or showcasing community initiatives, having the right AV setup can make all the difference in how information is shared and received.
