The celebration continues! Start your morning off right with a one-hour session of ‘Slow Flow Yoga’ with Jessica. The class will begin at 8:30am in Crapo Park, down past the Children’s play structure. Bring a yoga mat or towel and an open mind. Dress in comfortable (warm) clothing - it’s 55 degrees. All ages and experience levels welcome! This is a free offering, but donations are accepted.

After you’re finished with Yoga, you may wish to remain in the park for the community church service, hosted by Twelve Stones Church under the pavilion. Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Then head over to the Farmer’s Market (also in Crapo Park) and peruse the booths selling locally grown produce, baked goods, salsa, eggs, honey, meat, jam, arts, and crafts. As an added bonus, they will have a bounce house in the Market today for the kids to play on!

***Please note that the hot dog eating contest has been moved from Cyclone Park to Crapo. Sign up to participate at Lucky’s Lunch Wagon, located in the Farmer’s Market. There will be a cash prize!***

***The softball game in Cyclone Park has been canceled.***

The Cemetery Walk, hosted by the Holly Youth Theatre will take place from 4-7pm today in Lakeside Cemetery. Guests will travel with a guide who will take them to visit 12 grave sites where actors / actresses will respectfully tell each person’s story. Tours will leave every 15 minutes. Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased at www.showtix4u.com or on-site at the cemetery.

Check out the new overhead lighting in Battle Alley! They were installed this week, in time for the events! Don't they look amazing?

We’re looking for a few good volunteers! HollyDays is going to be a busy, fun, well-attended weekend of events. If you could spare an hour or two to help out, we could gladly use your assistance! Helping with the parade, parking, Community Play Day activities, staffing the info booth, sweeping streets, etc.

If you would like to join in the fun, please text Katy Hughes at: (248) 459-4835; she will put you in touch with the Volunteer Coordinators. We’d surely appreciate you lending a hand!

P.S. This is a great opportunity for students to earn some volunteer hours!
