HOLLY TOWNSHIP, Michigan – Plow Dayz organizers promised a bigger and better event this year, and on Saturday, May 22, they delivered.

Overcast skies and patchy rain didn’t keep the visitors away as antique tractors and teams of horses plowed a 6-acre plot of fertile ground north of the historic farm located at 13465 N. Holly Road.

In addition to the hands-on tractor and horse demonstration, visitors could look at antique engines, see how rope is made, learn about the intricacies of honey making from Davisburg’s Blanche Barber, check out various farm animals, and even see how a buzz saw operates.

On August 3, 2010, Rose Township voters will be asked to decide whether to fund fire department services in the township.  Currently those services are provided by the North Oakland County Fire Authority (NOCFA).  NOCFA’s service area includes both Holly and Rose Townships.  NOCFA was created in 1984, and although the number of communities contributing funds to the authority has decreased since then, the services delivered to our residents by NOCFA have increased. NOCFA delivers critical, life-saving services for less money than many other local fire departments.

HOLLY, Michigan – In an attempt to beat last year’s world record of 225,560 simultaneous cup stackers across the globe, Holly Elementary School students gathered in the cafeteria on Thursday to take part in STACK UP! 2009.

Sponsored by the World Sport Stacking Association, sport stacking is termed “a track meet for your hands at warp speed.” Sport stacking is an exciting sport where students up stack and down stack 12 specially designed cups called “Speed Stacks” in predetermined sequences as fast as they can. Stackers race against the clock and compete in relays.

On Thursday, Holly stackers joined thousands of other stackers both in the United States and abroad, attempting to smash the Guinness World Record for the most people sport stacking at various locations around the world.
