Good morning, Bellevue.

Papillion neighbor Don Hotz donates to 20 agencies each year — he supports child services including Children's Square and Completely Kids — and he hopes his grassroots plan inspires others to give.

Today, the City of Bellevue will sign a sublicensing agreement that allows Mattel-branded attractions—such as Hot Wheels and Barbie—to feature at the Bellevue Bay Indoor Waterpark, a $60 million project in the Good Life District expected to open in 2027.

Bellevue shops are offering 12 unique Christmas gift ideas that help local shoppers find special presents and support independently owned businesses.

The list—which features gift certificates, artisanal jewelry, memorable experiences, and gourmet treats—shows how the holiday season sparks creativity in our community.
