Holiday Hollow: 25th and Final Season of Family Fun

By Genesee County Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center

This year marks a quarter of a century for Holiday Hollow, and the last year of the Halloween and Pirate-themed mini-Renaissance fair that has delighted families for ages. If you’ve never been, this is your last chance to check it out. If you’ve gone before, don’t miss your opportunity to say goodbye with one last trip to this amazing October destination!

Holiday Hollow is full of surprises; from a Haunted Parlor to a Mad Tea Party, Talking Pumpkins, Fairy Tales and the Wacky Witch’s Spooky Forest cooking show, there is plenty to see and do when you visit. Get lost in Hook’s Dark Maze, or witness the Hollow’s famous pirate sword fighting. Eat your fill at the Popcorn Wagon, or show your “spirit” with a custom face painting.

This year, Holiday Hollow welcomes two new shows – the comedic “Witches’ Coven” and a new Gypsy comedy show. Both are sure to delight, introducing new acts and characters never seen before.

You don’t have to worry about getting rained out or missing the adventure – because Holiday Hollow is open every Saturday and Sunday throughout the rest of October – rain or shine. Hours run from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (with a 2:00 p.m. end time on particularly rainy days). Admission is $13 for adults and kids over 10, and $12 for kids age 3-10, with children two and under free!

When you’ve had your fill of the fun, take home a keepsake from Treasure Island or Cricket Cottage – a lasting memory of your time mingling with the ruffians, rascals, and spooky scoundrels who call Holiday Hollow home.

Holiday Hollow is located just off Exit 48A on the New York State Thruway (I-90). For directions or more information, call 585-762-8160 or visit their website at http://www.holidayhollow.com/Holiday_Hollow/Home.html

Each show is performed twice throughout the day. In between shows visitors can play games, explore a maze, visit the haunted parlor and more. There are also opportunities for crafts, food and gift buying, too.

Pembroke's Holiday Hollow offers first dinner theater

By Billie Owens

Here's a press release from Holiday Hollow in Pembroke.

After 20 years of family oriented Halloween entertainment and three years of Christmas and "tea tasting" shows, the George Walker family at Holiday Hollow in Pembroke has added dinner theater to their repertoire.

On Saturday, July 16, they will premiere "13 Memento Mori Lane," a comedy/mystery/farce, at their new theater, Yorkshire Hall.

Author/director Zachary Walker says that "the show begins the moment you enter the door, as the villain greets you...as you sit down do a delicious dinner, mind your belongings, and get ready for poison brandy, tangled tangos, crashing chandeliers -- and broccoli. What murder would be complete without broccoli?"

Yorkshire Hall shows are usually limited to group bookings and tour buses.

"This is a chance for the general public to get to see our elegant new hall and have a great dinner and show as well," said George Walker, senior member of the family.

But he says that this presentation is unique and future "general public" presentations will depend on response.

"We receive many requests to open our shows to local residents, and this will be a chance to see if there's enough community interest to make future offerings possible," Walker said.

The July 16 "world premiere" of "13 Memento Mori Manor" is scheduled for just one performance at this time, but will feature a "super discount price" of $19.95, which includes dinner, the show, and gratuity.

Advance reservations are required and may be made by calling 762-8160. Additional information is available at www.Yorkshire-Hall.com.
