What is the Kettering Holiday at Home Celebration?

Holiday at Home is a Labor Day weekend celebration for the family. It is packed with exciting, fun, safe, family-oriented activities designed to encourage people to stay at home and enjoy their family and friends over Labor Day weekend. It has grown in the past 50 years from a small, neighborhood event into one of Ohio's largest weekend events.

Events include:

	The Miami Valley's Largest Parade - Last year over 100,000 people lined Far Hills Avenue in Kettering on Labor Day morning to watch the parade. This ranks as one of the highlights of the weekend.
	Miss Holiday at Home Pageant - This event recognizes 5 young women from the south suburbs. Contestants win scholarship money and are judged on poise, scholastic achievement, and community service participation. Miss Holiday at Home and her court attend all the weekend's activities.
	Coronation Ball - Miss Holiday at Home and her court are officially recognized at this event. Last year was one of our most successful balls, as over 250 people gathered for dinner and entertainment at the Mandalay Banquet Center in Moraine.
	Auto Show - This invitational event draws collectors from around the tri-state area. They come to compete in what has become a must for competitors and spectators alike. In 2005, there were more than 65 entrants in the Holiday at Home Auto Show.
	Activities on Lincoln Park Commons - Each year thousands of people fill the Lincoln Park commons area to take in over 160 arts and crafts displays, children's activities, over 30 food vendors, karaoke, live entertainment and much more. Estimates are that over 120,000 people attended these events in 2005.
	5K Run - Nearly 700 runners participated in this event in 2005. The event has proven so popular that we added an "Under- 10-years-old" category to accommodate the interests of even our youngest runners!
