I am trying to update a tkinter label with a variable, but the label just comes up blank

I know there are a lot of similar posts to this, but i could not find a solution. I am trying to update the label with a tk.StringVar variable, but it comes up blank every time run it. If I put text in it works fine. I gave the same variable a different name to see if it made a difference, it did not.

This is the label, and the function is below, thank you for the help!

park1=selected_park.get()
Label(newWindow, textvariable=park1, width=20, fg="black", font=("bold", 12), bd=1, relief="raised").grid(row=0, col

def search_hikes():
    try:
        park = selected_park.get()
        difficulty = selected_diff.get()
        print(park, difficulty)

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        messagebox.showinfo("Tkinter", "Select State, Park, and Difficulty.")
        raise Exception

    try:
        rows_p, num_rows_p = search_parks_in_dbs(park, difficulty)
    except Exception as e:
        messagebox.showinfo("Tkinter", "Database error")
        exit()

    if num_rows_p == 0:
        messagebox.showinfo("Database Error", "No results")

    else:
        newWindow = tk.Toplevel(form)
        newWindow.title("Search Results")
        newWindow.geometry("1200x800")
        park1=selected_park.get()
        Label(newWindow, textvariable=park1, width=20, fg="black", font=("bold", 12), bd=1, relief="raised").grid(row=0, column=3)
        table = ttk.Treeview(newWindow, columns=(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), height=80, show="headings")

        table.heading(1, text="Hike Name")
        table.heading(2, text="Length(Mi)")
