J-Nice Hoops Tournament

Our annual hoops tournament is always free and allows young players and adults to run on the big court at the high school!  You can click here to watch some of our 2015 tournament games or search YouTube for the rest.

This is some serious youth ball going on!

Anderson Memorial Golf Outing

We started hosting an annual golf outing in 2010 in memory of Craig Anderson and the event continues to be the most popular golf outing in the area!

Awesome golf outing, our 6th year! I got to see the guys hit the winning longest drive and one team sank a 30' putt (Burmeister). Now, time to give out $11,000 in scholarships!

Holt Run for Education

Holt Hometown Days is the perfect weekend to host our annual fun run!  We started small in 2015 but we continue to build this event to promote healthy activities throughout our community.

Great event this year! Met a bunch of wonderful new people and we raised some money for scholarships. See you next year!
