July 4th 2025
It was great seeing you all at the Town's 4th of July Celebration!
A perfect day for it!
Our club handled the judging and parading of the bicycles again this year. We had a fantastic group of 139 kids/parents participating. Participatory ribbons were given out to all as well as first, second and third place ribbons in 7 categories…wagons and carriages, family, 0-4, 4-6, 6-8, 9-10, 11+. 18 Lions and one spouse helped in getting things ready, judging, carrying the banner and flag. Thank you for your participation and congratulations to the winners!
The Amherst Lion’s Club’s Float won Best Overall the Amherst Parade!! The Amherst Lions Club presented their float, “Amherst Lions Club Road Trip…Join us on our Journey,” representing the parade theme “America’s Favorite Past Times.” The float featured a Lions family on a road trip driving to the NH mountains, with Dad driving the old “Woodie Wagon”, Mom using a map for directions, a child in their baseball uniform and with a ball glove. Another child was reading a book. Their dogs enjoyed the breeze out the window. All their gear is stored on top of the car including a kayak, sleeping bag, tent, cooler, water toys and fishing rods. A hiker and her child is at their campsite cooking marshmallows over the grill. They’ve been fishing and caught a rainbow trout. 2 wagons are pulled by 2 baseball fans showing Lions past times of helping the blind & hearing impaired and giving to the community, such as emergency rescue equipment to the town, Seeing Eye Dog Training and The Bridge of Flowers. These are all some of our favorite pastimes.
