We
Cooked Out!
Holt was certainly hungry, but
not just for hot dogs and potato
salad. After the overwhelming
success of its first Community
Cookout Fundraiser, Holt
Community Arts Council leaders
have no doubt that the people of
Holt are looking to connect with
other community members and
participate in the
arts.
The Arts Council fed nearly 400
people at its cookout on
Thursday, July 31, 2008, and another
600 or so attended that night’s
installment of Music in the
Garden, which featured Three Men
and a Tenor.

Hundreds of hungry people arrived early to partake in the Arts Council's first cookout fundraiser at Veterans Memorial Gardens Park. |

It took a lot of cooks to feed over 400 people! George Orban, (left) HCAC Vice President and Michael Belt, (front right) HCAC board member. |

We Built Gill!
This temporary sculpture — a colorful,
three-dimensional blue gill — was the
focal point of the 2008
Water Quality Awareness Week Open House and
Re-Use Rally,
on May 10,
at the Delhi Township Recycling
Center.
On the day of the open house, visitors helped attach
approximately 2,500 empty
laundry detergent bottles to a pre-built
frame that was 25-feet long and 15-feet
high.
