HOLLAND Holland Museum will host a virtual fundraiser this spring.
The fundraiser will feature the lengthy history of Holland Peanut Store, 46 E. Eighth St. in downtown Holland. The store, owned by the Fabiano family, has been in business for over a century.
“The museum is excited to present the history of a great local, family-owned business,” Holland Museum Executive Director Ricki Levine said in a statement. “In addition to being a fun and entertaining evening, this event will help raise funds to support education initiatives at the museum.
During the event at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 20, attendees will hear stories from patriarch Paul Fabiano and fourth and fifth generation family members. The event will be the first in a virtual series that will explore unique stories from our local past.
Spring has sprung in downtown Holland
HOLLAND After a snowy February, retailers in downtown Holland are debuting their new inventory as the weather marches closer to spring.
Much of the fallen snow continued to melt this week, and temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-50s next week.
Business owners are ready for the change. Holland Clock Co. is showcasing wooden tulips, while a window display at Holland Peanut Store holds more than a dozen Easter baskets.
Seasonal businesses will also begin to open this week, starting with Captain Sundae s Holland and Zeeland locations at 365 Douglas Ave. and 537 W. Main Ave., respectively, on Friday, March 5.
