Michigan Holiday Season Memories

The Holiday Season in Michigan holds special memories for everyone – who can forget the leaping reindeer emerging from the entranceway high above Hudson's, at the corner at Woodward and Grand River? Co-authors Jon Milan and Gail Offen invite you to join them on a colorful tour of seasonal highlights throughout the state – past and present!

In one of their latest programs, Jon and Gail ask everyone to tag along as they whisk us off to a festive reconjuring of Holiday memories – from Hudson’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the arrival of Santa – to breakfast at Crowley’s with old Saint Nick – From the animated windows along Woodward to the Automotive-themed, tree-lined corridors of the Ford Rotunda! From Candlelight Walks in old Frankenmuth to America’s tallest singing Christmas tree in Muskegon. Join the authors for an hour of festive fun as they take a peek through the frosty windows of family memories that have marked the holiday seasons throughout the years, complete with archival photos and film footage, featuring nearly 100 years of Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s Cheer.

Note: This program will be both in person at the Library and virtually via Zoom. Please indicate your preference by selecting the ticket type you wish to attend. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
