Plans are ongoing for Farmer s Day, June 11, and the 2nd annual Holden Jr. Cattlemen Achievers Show, July 1-3.

Thank you to all who came out to our recent strategic planning session at the hall, and put forth their ideas on how to make Holden better. As your public servants I can assure you that council and administration are busy working behind the scenes, delivering services, balancing budgets, and trying their best to ensure our village is here for another century. Watch for upcoming events, and announcements from the village. With warm regards, Carl Marsh, Mayor, Village of Holden Members of the public are welcome to attend any Council meeting.
