Happy Town

Thought this was really cool!
(Maybe my 'out-of-town' family will consider moving back...!:)

Greetings,

This week a Gallup Poll was released which showed Holland MI as the 2nd happiest place to live in America. Only Bolder Colorado ranked higher.

ABC World News with Diane Sawyer featured Holland on the national newscast aired February 17, 2010. ABC affiliate WZZM Grand Rapids MI also did a piece. Both pieces featured video from Holland's Hometown Station 1450 WHTC and Talk of the Town Host Juke Van Oss.

Van Oss was inducted into the Michigan Broadcasters Hall of Fame in July 2009 http://michmab.com/awards/awards_hof.html.

Holland Mayor Kurt Dykstra guided the crews from the ABC Television Network and ABC affliliate WZZM Grand Rapids and chose WHTC as one of the places (and the only radio station) the crews needed to visit to get the story on Holland.

Here are links to stori es and videos on this great accolade for Holland, Juke Van Oss and WHTC:
