Ron Rademacher

HOLLY, Michigan – Bringing more awareness to Holly and everything the community has to offer is what Ron Rademacher’s job is all about.

Last week, Rademacher spoke with board members for the Downtown Development Authority, further explaining his services, and offering the board a chance to extend its existing 1-year contract to 2016.

Rademacher is the owner of Michigan Webs, a website with companion sites that promote short Michigan getaway trips to lesser-known destinations.

“The focus is on small historic towns, historic destinations, unusual destinations, unique lodging and local shops,” Rademacher explained. “There is very little here about our more famous places – but there is a wealth of information about the lesser-known places and towns that people typically miss.”

HOLLY, Michigan – Just in time for Mother’s Day, Holly’s popular “Ladies Night Out” will once again dominate downtown Holly from 5 – 9 p.m. Friday, May 10.

“The May event seems to attract more families, so I guess you could say it’s not just for ladies anymore,” Director for Holly’s Downtown Development Authority, Hope Ponsart said.

Street closures in the downtown area ensure a safe time for all, and provide the perfect place for great shopping and more “real estate” for businesses wishing to take advantage of the spring weather, and display some of their goods outdoors.

HOLLY, Michigan – Gerald “Alec” Senton has spent many of his 16-years bettering himself through the Boy Scouts of America program, earning the 26 badges and completing a detailed project to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout.

Last summer, Alec completed his chosen project – rebuilding Rose Pioneer Elementary School’s nature trail by mowing down years of overgrown grass, raking out and laying a weed barrier down the trail, discovering and restoring a lost fire pit area, and repairing the broken footbridges that the school’s Parent Teacher Organization put in several years prior.
