The Jolly Snowman has arrived at Carolyn Stich Studio in downtown Holland.

For the 23rd year, local artist and business owner Carolyn Stich has created a Holland-themed  holiday card, commissioned by the Holland Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, to support an  organization in need. 

“We wanted to create a holiday card that not only represents Carolyn’s festive spirit but also  share a piece of our local culture,” said Linda Hart, Executive Director of the Visitors Bureau.  

This year’s card is titled “The Jolly Snowman” featuring a snowman taking a holiday selfie in  front of Holland’s iconic Big Red Lighthouse. Inside, the message reads, “Warmest Wishes from  Big Red’s Winter Wonderland.”  

“It’s that time of year and I am thrilled to have created the Christmas card again this year,” said  Carolyn Stich. “I can’t believe this is my 23rd year of creating this card for our city. Isn’t it fun to  imagine a snowman as our winter lighthouse keeper.” 

The cards can be purchased exclusively at the Holland Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (78  East 8th Street), the Carolyn Stich Studio (29 West 8th Street), Van Wieren Hardware (645  Douglas Avenue), and during the Kerstmarkt (8th Street Market Place.) Retail prices for the  cards are $3 for a single card and $18 for a package of 10. Proceeds will go to the Hands of  Hope. 

Inquiries about the card may be directed to the Holland Area Convention & Visitors Bureau at  (616) 394.0000, Monday through Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Saturday 10 am to 3 pm, Sunday 11 am  to 3 pm and online anytime at www.holland.org or info@holland.org.
