The Wait is Over!

The Highwood Chamber commissioned Emmy award winners Mike Leonard and Mary Kay Wall to create a film tribute to Highwood, and we encourage everyone to watch it. We first shared it at our Annual Dinner + Business Celebration and later at City Hall. Now, we’re thrilled to make it available for home viewing.

"This film will forever remain with the Highwood community as a testament to its history and the love of its residents and business owners. Mike Leonard truly captured the soul of our small town, and it will forever remain as a reminder that as small as Highwood is, it is a giant in our hearts."

—Patricia Galli, Pastificio Inc.

I’ve admired Mike’s storytelling for years—it always strikes a chord. I recently subscribed to his Substack and enjoy receiving a regular dose of his heartfelt stories. Be sure to check it out.
