Holly Hock-It Day is set for Saturday, August 6 this year.  Commercial Club members met Wednesday, July 6 to discuss the event and decided that only Holly residences would be included in the event, but out of town persons could set up booth space in the Holly Park.

The treasurer’s report indicated that after all bills had been paid, the Commercial Club would net close to $400 for the Friday evening, Holly Blue Grass Jam meal.
