✨ Thank You, Spring Lake! ✨

❄️ Our 2025 Sparkle Kickoff was one for the books… Blistering cold, sideways snow, and a true Michigan-style blizzard. STILL, our community showed up with joy, laughter, and holiday spirit. We couldn’t be more grateful.

🙏🏼 A huge thank you to the Grand Haven Varsity Dance Team for bringing so much festive energy, to Kirby Chittenden of Dunewood Technology Solutions for leading us through the evening, Temple Lounge for opening their warm and welcoming space, and to the Spring Lake Fire Department for giving Santa & Mrs. Claus the fanciest ride through the Village! Shoutout to Doug Heins - State Farm for sponsoring Santa throughout the season. 🎅🏽🤶🏼

Your support is what keeps Sparkle shining, even in a blizzard ☃️✨
