- 10 Booths with activities from local businesses
- 70-plus kids’ door prizes and 40-plus adult door prizes
(Door Prize drawings start around 6 p.m. you do not need to be present to win but prizes are picked as 1st come, 1st served)
Holmen students can guess the number of jelly beans. Winners will get a ride to school with a Holmen Police Officer and Subway for lunch.
There will also be food available for sale from The MOB Stop and the Holmen American Legion Post 284.
“Our officers that are working will still be there,” Holmen police chief Shane Collins said. “Obviously, if they get a call, they get a call. But the rest of the dept will be there volunteering. Just a good way to meet some of the businesses, your neihbors and obviously the police dept.
After the event, anyone can stay to watch the movie Guardians of the Galaxy.
