What’s So Great About Lawrence? The Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade
With a blend of Currier and Ives, Norman Rockwell, the expansive history of the American West and Christmas rolled into one, the Lawrence Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade kicks off its 21st season on Saturday, Dec. 7, starting at 11 a.m. in downtown Lawrence.This must-see Christmas parade, named by USA Today as one of the top 10 great places to put a spin on Christmas, is the only exclusively “horse” parade in the Midwest and one of very few throughout the United States. It kicks off the holiday season in Lawrence with exclusively authentic horse-drawn carriages and even a stagecoach. Cozy up with hot cocoa and blankets, and feel the true holiday spirit while watching dozens of beautiful horses and wagons adorned in garland and bells. Join us to celebrate our American heritage and keep our traditions alive this holiday season.
Lawrence Central Rotary volunteers will be distributing flyers describing the entries before the parade next Saturday morning. Come and say hello, then enjoy the holiday spirit on Mass Street—one of the things that is so great about Lawrence!

Buy a Wreath – Make the World a Better Place
If it were only that simple, but this is a good way to start. Again this year, Lawrence Central Rotary is selling wreaths and holiday decorations from Lynch Creek Farms and all the profits from the sales are going to the Rotary Foundation.The Rotary Foundation transforms these funds into projects that change lives both close to home and around the world. As the charitable arm of Rotary, the Foundation taps into a global network of Rotarians who invest their time, money, and expertise into Rotary’s priorities, such as eradicating polio and promoting peace. Rotary Foundation grants empower Rotarians locally and worldwide to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact.
You can contact any of our members to purchase in person, wreaths are $39.95 and $10 of each sale goes to the Rotary Foundation helping make the world a better place.
But there’s even an easier way! You can purchase a broader array of holiday decorations online by using this website. http://bit.ly/LCRWreath13 – It will direct you to the Lynch Creek Website and 25% of your purchase will come back to Lawrence Central Rotary to help locally and globally uniting for the common good.
Lawrence Central Rotary is proud to do our part locally and we encourage you to help us!
