Cruise to Battle Alley organiz... HOLLY, Michigan - Many hit the streets on Wednesday evenings for downtown Holly's weekly Cruise to Battle Alley, checking out the classic cars displayed along South Saginaw Street, enjoying the warmer weather and visiting many of the new shops that have recently opened their doors in historic downtown Holly.
It's free to stop by and see the classic cars, with proceeds going to the Clarkston Area Lions Club, said Holly resident Bob Allsop, who organizes Cruise to Battle Alley with friend, Lobo Bozarth.
For the organizers, it's a familiar crowd at the show.
"I grew up with a lot of these guys," Allsop said.

Bill Bullard presents Debbie M... ROSE TOWNSHIP, Michigan – According to Oakland County Register of Deeds, Bill Bullard, Rose Township Clerk Debbie Miller is “ahead of the curve,” after recently earning the title of Certified Municipal Clerk.
Bullard lauded Miller’s efforts during the Wednesday night Rose Township Board of Trustees meeting before presenting her with a plaque.
“Becoming a Certified Municipal Clerk is quite an achievement – it takes a lot of time and effort, and it takes a lot of initiative because certification for a clerk is not currently required under state law right now.”
Bullard said a bill requiring that township, city and village clerks are certified is currently moving through the state legislature and that all Michigan clerks will eventually be required to become certified.
