About Town - April 11, 2013
Where did that warm weather go? It was seventy degrees, and in a few hours we are getting snow and cold again. However, we need the moisture, so let it snow! It was great that it was nice for spring vacation and the St. Vain track meet, so now back to school just six more weeks of school.
Wow, there are lots of things going on in Lyons. Pick up the Parks & Recreation brochure and participate!

By Renée Haip
Saturday, April 6, was a beautiful day for track and field at Longmont High School’s Everly-Montgomery Field. Nineteen schools (including South Dakota’s Rapid City Stevens High School) gathered to run, jump, and throw. Co-hosting with Longmont, Lyons was one of two 2A schools in attendance, with the bulk of competing schools falling into the 4A division.

Nothing like a budget discussion item on the agenda to clear out a room! There were only five members of the public in attendance at Monday night’s Board of Trustees (BOT) meeting, and none of them stuck around to take in the presentation and discussion of the December 2012 financial statement.

Thank You Donors!
To the Lyons Community,
I’d like to personally thank all of the blood donors who came out on Easter Sunday to support the second annual Lyons Community Foundation Blood Drive.

Monday was April Fool’s Day however, the weather was not fooling when it was so great Easter Sunday. We hope all enjoyed Easter. The Fire District’s Easter egg hunt with Mr. Bunny was great with lots of kids and lots of prizes. Churches were filled with worshipers happy that the Lord “arose” so many years ago to save us from our sins, and give us something to “look” to at all times. And then, of course, more Easter egg hunts, brunches, dinners with our loved ones, a ride to the hills, games, picnics, etc. An enjoyable day!
