Holland Live Mannequin Night image

How long can you stand still? This Friday in Holland, Michigan, all of 8th street will be filled with living statues for the 10th annual Live Mannequin Night. We speak with a few of the competitors for this family-friendly event.

This Friday in Holland, Michigan, just off Lake Michigan, 8th Street will be filled with tons of people, some of them moving around, but a few of them will be frozen still. Live Mannequin Night is more than just an event for all ages, it's also a competition.

Current State’s Jamie Paisley speaks with the Event Coordinator for the City of Holland, Niki Kloosterman. It turns out Live Mannequin Night has been going on for quite some time.
