"This is the best event in McHenry County to kickoff the holiday season. We are so very grateful for all the dedicated volunteers who have been making this event possible for the last 12 years … and for all the attendees who come out to enjoy the festivities," said Amy Hernon, director of development for Pioneer Center.
