The Londesboro Business

several months to improve the

finishing touches left to be

weekend to celebrate and create a
fun time for the families of the vil
lage and surrounding area.
Tom Codyre of Today's Variety
says the Londesboro Business
Association, formed one year ago,
and the Londesboro Lions Club got
together last year and began plan
ning the event which took place
recently.
The weekend of fun included a
giant yard sale, UCW bake sale,
pork BBQ, Lions breakfast, farm
ers' Olympics and a grand finale on
Monday of local entertainers and
fireworks.
Mr. Codyre says, "The idea
evolved because the community
wanted something special for their
small town. An event which would
bring the community together. It
was the rediscovery of a family
event."
Many local clubs, organizations
and individuals were very involved
in creating the activity. Mr. Codyre
says, "We encourage people to be
part of the planning and contribute
to the event. There is always room
for improvement and new ideas."
This is the second year for the
celebration and it was an overall
success. The Lions pork BBQ sup
per served over 225 plates and the
Monday evening firework display
was performed before more than
300 cars (an actual head count is
not known).
Plans for next year's holiday
weekend will begin soon.
Mr. Codyre says the business
association and other town groups
are working together to develop
several ideas for the village.
A recent project is nearing com
pletion, the erecting of a new vil
lage sign welcoming visitors to
Londesboro.
"We can be well known even
though we are small," says Mr.
Codyre.
