Happy Holidays everyone! In this episode of Headlines, Garden Grove Mayor Steve Jones, on behalf of the City Councilmembers and City Staff, wishes everyone a healthy, happy holiday season with family and friends. He also shares news about two exciting events coming in 2022. Stay healthy Garden Grove!

In the City of Garden Grove, holiday magic is all around us. From the Winter in the Grove event that brings snow, Santa and the lighting of the tree, to the H. Louis Lake Senior Center, where Garden Grove seniors pick up some warm and frozen holiday meals. We looked in on some elves wrapping and filling boxes for local families and Santa distributing some early Christmas presents to happy youngsters. We also stopped by Bracken's Kitchen to witness a huge end-of-year push to feed hungry people here and throughout the area.

Bring in the holidays with SteelCraft's inaugural, outdoor Holiday Hope Bazaar and celebrate Orange County's vibrant AAPI community and businesses.

About this event:

Shop at over a dozen local AAPI merchants and enjoy local food, drinks, and family-friendly entertainment.

It's Thanksgiving time and a large Garden Grove retailer gets a facelift with a local young man for a manager. Plus small business experts come to our Great Wolf Lodge Southern California to help local business people. A golf tournament makes money for the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce and the Community Foundation. And how some of the Foundation money was spent to create lots of outdoor fun over the summer. GGTV3 Reporter Breanna Greenup was out there and she has the stories. We have a lot to be thankful for Garden Grove.

People often wonder, "what can I do to help?" Shopping locally in the City of Garden Grove is one way we can all help by supporting local businesses, the employees who work there, our City through tax dollars . . . and even ourselves through the Buy in Garden Grove Program. Spend your holiday (and other) dollars in Garden Grove, save your receipts between November 26th and December 16th, and you could win BiGG cash or other prizes.
