Dale Strate Day To Be Celebrated Next Week

It’s been nine years since Holden had to say goodbye to a fixture in our community, and family and friends of the “Gentle Giant” Dale Strate can’t believe that many years have gone by.

Dale was called home January 27, 2017 and his funeral was February 4. Former Mayor Doyle Weeks proclaimed that February 4 would be forever celebrated as “Dale Strate Day.”

Dale was raised in Holden and was very community-minded, believing it was every citizen’s job to volunteer to make our little town better.
