Zehnder’s Mother of the Year Contest Celebrated 33 Years in 2026
Thank you to everyone who participated in Zehnder’s annual Mother of the Year Contest! Congratulations to Darlene T. of West Bloomfield, Michigan, the winner of the 2026 contest. The winning poem was lovingly submitted by her daughter, Alicia.
As this year’s honored Mother of the Year, Darlene received a Mother’s Day dinner for 10 at Zehnder’s Restaurant, an overnight getaway package for four at Zehnder’s Splash Village Hotel & Waterpark, and a commemorative recognition plaque. Congratulations, Darlene!
