New Holland Farmers Day Association Plans Annual Celebration
NOW!

P
aulene Redding, president of the New Holland Farmers Day Association, is game to tackle the tough stuff, and she believes the tough stuff can get done when the community pulls together. Case in
point, the second floor of the New Holland Farmers Day Association, 101 W. Franklin St., New Holland, needed to be cleaned following construction to make it pristine for the needlework displays at this year’s fair. “I invited (committee) chairs and board members to
clean up after the construction,” shared Redding. “I said, ‘Let’s get together for pizza and snacks and turn on some music. Everyone bring a bucket and rags.’” Redding brings that same spirit to the organization of the New Holland Farmers Fair activities.
