2nd Lamar celebration is May 26
The second celebration of Lamar’s sesquicentennial is set for Thursday, May 26, from 4-6 p.m.
The First Responders’ Taste will highlight Lamar’s first responders. First responders, emergency vehicles and equipment will line Railroad Avenue in front of Piggly Wiggly. Also, this program will include a “taste” as the public browses the area. Local vendors will furnish samples of food.
This program is in response to the many services performed for Lamar’s citizens. It is a thank-you to first responders from the town celebrating its 150th anniversary.
The first celebration of the sesquicentennial, a worship service, took place April 3. A celebration will occur each month throughout the year.
