Everyone in Holland, Michigan is familiar with the April showers that bring up Holland's famous May flowers, but now you can avoid those showers while you shop. The Holland Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce the launch of a new program in downtown Holland offering courtesy umbrellas to shoppers and visitors.

"We think these umbrellas are a fun way to welcome people to downtown Holland," said Linda Hart, Executive Director of the Holland Visitors Bureau. "We want people to be able to visit all their favorite shops - or discover a new favorite- even in a rain shower."

Shoppers are encouraged to pick up an umbrella at any participating shop, restaurant, or hotel, use it during their visit, and return it at their final stop or at the Visitors Bureau. The umbrellas have a cheerful "Return to Downtown Holland" reminder that the umbrellas are for use on the honor system. 

For questions about the program, please contact Linda Hart at the Holland Visitors Bureau, at 616.394.0000.
