K. Hollis Jewelers, Boutique & Wine Bar is celebrating 20 years of serving Batavia and surrounding communities with live music, entertainment, contests and discounts during a special anniversary event this Saturday.

Kane County community members are invited to celebrate the jeweler’s anniversary from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 5 at the shop at 2030 Main St. in Batavia.

The event promises a fun-filled day of games, prizes, and drink specials. Guests will be among the first to see K Hollis’ new 100-facet Centurion cut diamond jewelry, among other special surprises.

The grand prize winner of the raffle drawings will receive a two-carat, lab-grown diamond.

“It’s been an incredible 20+ year journey that started as a hobby at my dining room table and blossomed into one of the largest jewelry stores in Northern Illinois” founder and owner Karen Hollis said. “We are so grateful for all the community support, memories, laughs, and tears we’ve been able to share with so many wonderful people. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!”
