HOLLY, Michigan – Jim Beasley has nearly 6 years under his belt as owner and operator of Spot Shooter Archery in Holly, and ever since that cold day in March, he hasn’t looked back once.
“We’re doing great,” Beasley said as took a break from resizing some arrows on Tuesday. “It just keeps getting better and better, and we’re really looking forward to our fourth annual Bowfest this weekend.”
From 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 28, Beasley and his crew of professional archers look forward to hosting Spot Shooter Archery’s 4th Annual Bowfest – a one day event featuring incredible deals on all in-stock bows, targets, arrows, other archery-related equipment and much more. It all happens inside and in front of Spot Shooter Archery, 3525 Grange Hall Road in Holly.
Beasley said representatives from several bow manufacturers including Hoyt, PSE, Bear, and Quest will be at the event, as will representatives from several area bow clubs including the Oakland County Sportsmen’s Club, Land 'O Lakes Bowmen, and Flint Bowmen. With music provided by “Living the Dream,” and good eats provided by Big Tony’s Pizza and Ribs, Beasley said prizes will be raffled off throughout the event. Pastor Marv from Holly’s Church of the Nazarene will also be on-hand for a “Blessing of the Bows.”
Another main feature of this year’s Bowfest is a 3D target shoot scheduled to take place behind the Holly Church of the Nazarene, 961 E. Maple St., Holly.
“It’s a brand new 3D target course cut out around a lake behind the church,” Beasley said. Open from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m, those stopping by Spot Shooter Archery can get a coupon for $2 off the normal $8 shooting fee. Kids 12 and younger shoot for free, Beasley said.
With brand new MacKenzie targets just out of the box, Beasley said all raffle money will be donated back to the church to go toward the purchase of the targets. “We’re hoping to eventually hold monthly 3D shooting events at the new course,” he said.

HOLLY, Michigan – On Aug. 9, members of the Holly Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors received all the facts and figures pertaining to a study performed on the village offices by Bloomfield Hills redevelopment services firm, The Urban Resource Alliance.
The original concept for the study was set in motion in October of 2009 by Suzanne Perreault, former director of the Holly DDA. After the village of Holly was awarded a $30,000 50/50 Michigan Economic Development Corporation grant, Perreault said the MDEC had agreed to pay the first $15,000 of the study, while Oakland County volunteered to throw in another $5,500. At the time, both the village and the DDA agreed split another $5,000 to go toward the study, leaving $4,500 to hopefully be paid by area banks and businesses.

The Spring Antique Show brough... HOLLY, Michigan – To the delight of the antique enthusiasts visiting Holly on Saturday, the weatherman was wrong again, delivering muggy, hot weather instead of rain.
Event coordinator Pat Kenny said hundreds of people visited downtown Holly throughout the day, perusing antiques and collectibles displayed by area dealers.
“We ended up with about 22 dealers which is down from some other years, but it goes with having an outdoor show, threatening weather and a sluggish economy,” Kenny said. “The dealers were all very pleased with the customers and their sales, and we’ll wind up netting about $450 for this year’s Dickens Festival,” she added. Kenny said all downtown businesses benefited from the added shoppers in Holly over the weekend.
The Fall Antique show is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2.
