Lamar Days Parade – And Not a Single Picture!
Okay, this is nuts. I just realized, I attended the Lamar Days Parade and didn’t once get my camera out. Say WHAT? Not sure I even qualify as a Grandma, let alone a journalist, no camera???? What was I thinking? Seriously, I got so caught up at just being “home” seeing old friends, family and fellow Lamar Folks, that I never even thought about pulling out the camera. My Mom, Esther Mulaney, joined us at the parade with some of my favorite Lamarites. She brought along friends, Martha Peery and Bonnie Miller, to watch the parade roll through downtown Lamar. Martha Peery was busy spoiling my grandbabies, lovin’ ‘em and watching them in the wind. She’s such a sweet woman, and loves my kids and grandkids so much. I just adore it when she talks about them. We all stood in front of Shore Arts Center and watched the Parade roll down the street. Kicked off by one of Lamar’s finest, the Parade route traveled from Big R to the Main Stop Light and then north to Poplar Street past the new Water Tower and Windmill at the Chamber of Commerce Station by the Rail Road. The crew from the read more…

Emick’s Wind Farm Moves to Town
Sounds something like one of the Curious George books my granddaughter refers to as her Monkey George Books, but looking over the photos Keith Mosier sent, I think it took a little more work and coordination. Bob Emick, life time rancher from south of Lamar, and his sons gather windmills from around the country, pulling them into service either as active windmills pulling precious water from the ground, or as show pieces on their farm south of Lamar. This showpiece centered the entry to the Emick Ranch and welcomed newcomers to the windfarm offices facing Hwy 287 after being transported to the family ranch from New Mexico. When Bob Emick loaned the windmill to the community, he made sure they understood it was on loan by sharing a now familiar story. The first windmill ever built in the United States was built in Ohio. After the windmill was taken down, the community boxed it up and put it in storage. A new city administrator moved in and took over the running of the community. He wanted to use the storage, so he had city workers take the crated windmill to the dump. So, for that reason, Bob made it very read more…
Tidwell Sparks Crowds in Lamar, Colorado
Returning for the first time since May 9th when Cleve Tidwell kicked off his campaign for U.S. Senate at the Lamar Days Parade, Tidwell sparks a crowd for the “We Remember Rally” at the Prowers County Courthouse. “Looking back over the past 8 years, it’s obvious our nation has changed, and not for the better,” says Tidwell. “We’ve lost important freedoms, our government has grown out of hand and they’re determined to overrule the Freedom and Liberty we were provided by the Constitution of the United States. This 2010 Election is our opportunity to turn the tide back to basics and demand that our government get out of our business.” Tidwell reminds us that “We the People” are the foundation of the Government and we must speak up loud and clear in the 2010 elections to be heard, above the roar of change that threatens to remove Freedom and Liberty from the face of America. Speaking out against Tyranny and Fascism are the least we can do, as Americans. There’s more to be done. Tuesday nights at 7 PM, Loren Brown offers a course at the Lamar Community Building based on the book by W. Cleon Skousen “The 5000 Year read more…
