2021 Calendar:
September 10, Friday, 6 p.m. – Great Flood of 2013 Memorial – Come and share your stories, or listen to other people tell about this horrible day when Lyons got flooded, and dozens of homes were damaged or destroyed. A good way to find commaraderie and remember, with a caring friend by your side. We’ll also talk about the successes, including rebuilding our two wonderful parks. Town officials have been invited. Meet at LaVern Johnson Park at 6 p.m. – bring some snacks or a side-dish, and a beverage, and relax. See some photos from the Flood. Several flood-related books will be for sale. Hosted by the Lyons Historical Society. (rain or shine)
