Nakoda Light Decoration

Out on Mandia Road, we run Nakoda Light Decoration. It’s a bit of a messy business, honestly. There are always wires tangled up on the floor and different kinds of bulbs sitting in boxes waiting to be tested. We spend a lot of our time checking strings of lights to make sure they actually work before someone takes them for a party or a wedding. It isn’t the quietest spot because of all the traffic passing by on the road outside. We have everything from simple fairy lights to the bigger sets that people put up for festivals. Some days are just spent untangling stuff or fixing a socket that’s gone bad. We aren’t really into the high-tech stuff; we just deal with the lights that people use for their homes and events. It’s practical work. My hands are usually a bit dusty from handling all the equipment. We don't have a polished showroom. It’s more like a workshop where things are stacked up wherever they fit. People come by when they have a celebration coming up and they need to brighten things or if they have a broken light they want us to look at. It’s just us doing our thing on Mandia Road. The shop is small, but it holds a lot of gear. We just take it one day at a time, making sure the lights turn on when they are supposed to.
