A Note from our President:
Howdy, partners!
Our Holiday at Home Planning Committee has been workin’ harder than a ranch hand at sunrise, gettin’ everything ready for the 2025 Labor Day Weekend festival—a weekend filled with family, fun, and good ol’ country spirit!
This year, we’re goin’ all out with our theme: “Holiday at Home Going Country.” So dust off your boots and round up the family, ‘cause we’ve got a lineup that’ll have y’all grinnin’ wider than a coyote in a henhouse!
Over at Lincoln Park on Sunday and Monday, you’ll find a free children’s area packed with games for young’uns of all ages, live country music to get your toes tappin’, and a whole corral of arts and crafts vendors for some one-of-a-kind shopping. When hunger strikes, mosey on over to our food concessions servin’ up some mighty tasty grub.
Car enthusiasts, we ain’t forgotten about you! Sunday, we’ll be showcasin’ VW cars, and on Monday, don’t miss the invitational auto show. And of course, no Labor Day is complete without the Holiday at Home Parade, kickin’ off at 10 AM sharp on Monday morning—so grab your spot early!
This here festival wouldn’t be possible without our dedicated Holiday at Home members, hardworking volunteers, generous sponsors, and the great folks at the City of Kettering. A big ol’ thank you to each and every one of y’all!
We can’t wait to see ya at one—or all—of our events this year. So saddle up and join us for a rootin’, tootin’ good time!
Best wishes,
Jennifer Weiner
President
