Holly Days In Huron

Christmas time is (almost) here....

Holly Days in Huron | A new holiday tradition in Northern Ohio Let’s go back to the days of sliding through the snow, the sound of sleighbells, a smile on everyone’s lips with a “Merry Christmas” to all.

Ahh, springtime. A time when everyone's thoughts drift toward....CHRISTMAS!

It's time to get started on our big premier show. It will take a big team to make our first year magic. Let's get together to start our plans. Want to be a part of the team? Join us at Federation HQ for our first meeting.

How does Wednesday, March 30 look. 6 PM maybe? Good or not enough notice? Message me and let me know.

It's that time of year! Time to prepare for the holidays. Especially the holidays in Huron!

Any volunteers who would like to take part in planning and helping prepare this year's show, stay tuned for a meeting later this month!

Big news!!!

Our very first Holly Days in Huron will feature a very special guest!

Karolyn Zuzu Grimes will be traveling to Huron for our very first Christmas Gala! You know Karolyn best as Zuzu from 'It's a Wonderful Life.' She also played Bing Crosby's daughter in 'Blue Skies.'

Karolyn will join us to greet all of you and sign autographs and take photos. Who doesn't want a photo with Zuzu?

Wow...what a great show this will be! Get ready for the new Christmas tradition in Huron!

If luck is with us, we'd like to bring Karolyn Zuzu Grimes to our first Christmas Extravaganza in 2022!

Karolyn played the small daughter in "It's a Wonderful Life" and Bing Crosby's daughter in "Blue Skies," both in the same year!

An update on our plans for holiday festivities in Huron.

Because we got such a late start for this year, there isn't a lot we can do. What we have decided to do is begin planning in February for the new annual tradition called Holly Days in Huron. That will allow us time to find sponsors, get organizations involved and get everything just perfect for our first holiday season.

Holly Days in Huron will kick off on Friday, November 18, 2022, and will feature lighted displays along Main Street from Bogart Road to the pier. The displays will be built by non-profit organizations and maybe some companies in the area. The power for those displays will be available via donations of power from the building owners along the route.

We are also considering a Holly Days in Huron Pageant where the yearly Holly Days Queen will be named.

The Christmas festivities will be capped off with a grand Holiday Dinner Dance on Friday, December 16, 2022, featuring the Vermilion Windjammer Big Band, The Rat Pack And More and myself bringing back my Crosby voice. There will be food, dancing and more, all in the style of the shows in "Holiday Inn" and "White Christmas."

Proceeds will go to the non-profit organizations that put up and maintain lighted displays and that helped with the pageant and show. This will be an annual event for as long as your local Bing (me) can do a show.

Want to get involved? Contact me. I am open to non-profits and to companies wishing to sponsor the events or who want to be a part.

Holly Days in Huron. The new Christmas Tradition is here!
