Holly Johnson: 21 to-dos at the HHH

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Although the Christmas decorations will be on display at the Hormel Historic Home for another week, we have technically completed the holiday season.  It is now 2021, and one thing I learned from 2020 is that whatever is on the calendar this morning could change or be canceled by the end of the day.

However, our leadership team has chosen to adopt the attitude we do every January and to put plans in place for a great year ahead.  We are not ignoring the presence of continued uncertainty in our world, and everything we do will have COVID safety precautions in place.  But, we are ready for 2021 and we hope you will find something in our plans that will allow you to engage with us.

21 things to do at the HHH in 2021.
