The Schomaker family has been selected by Mayor Barnett to flip the switch and turn on the holiday lights at the Village this year. Mike, Colleen and their children Matthew, Tommy, and Genevive Rose were nominated to be the family of the month as part of Mayor Barnett’s “Families First” initiative. The program is intended to celebrate exceptional families and share their stories. Whether it is to celebrate unspoken acts of kindness or other unique examples of community service, the objective is to recognize those that make the community great.


The Village of Rochester Hills is located at the northeast corner of Walton Blvd. and Adams Rd. Village hours are Monday-Saturday, 10a:00m to 9:00pm and Sunday from noon to 6:00pm.  Village Gift Cards are available at Whole Foods Market or online at www.thevorh.com .
