The Ho Ho Area Shrine Club was formed in 1966 by Zuhrah Shrine members who were residents of the area of the "Valley of the Jolly (Ho, Ho, Ho,)  Green Giant." Most original members resided in St. Peter, Savage, LeSueur and Belle Plaine, and many were employed by the Green Giant Company. (This should provide you with a clue about the name of the club!)

In 1992, the club formed a parade unit called the "Ho Ho Classics" in which club members drive miniature 1959 Chevy Corvettes to represent Zuhrah Temple by appearing in parades throughout southern Minnesota. Ho Ho members are recognized as among the strongest supporters of Zuhrah Temple and the Shrine Hospitals of North America!

Current club members reside in Henderson, Le Center, Minneapolis, LeSueur, St. Peter, Montgomery, Jordan, Belle Plaine, Winthrop, Chaska, Mankato, Gaylord, Arlington and New Prague. Club meetings are on the first Monday of each month, with the meeting location rotating from town-to-town. The evening includes a social hour and dinner with their ladies, followed by a meeting and program.
