✨ A Holiday Happening tradition since 1980 ✨
If you’ve been to Holiday Happening, you’ve likely seen our committee members in their aprons, a beloved tradition that began when the event first started. 🎄

Years of Holiday Happening aprons have come and gone, but one thing remains the same: the heart of the women wearing them. ❤️ What started as a simple part of the event has become a staple, symbolizing service, teamwork, and the volunteers who make the magic happen year after year.
