Lamar High School state qualifying students left the high school at about 1:45 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, as they earned the right to participate in the State Track and Field meet to be held in Jefferson City. Following group pictures, the students and coaches loaded up on the bus and they were escorted out of town by Lamar Police Officer Mitchell Shaw.

It was a beautiful day and evening for May’s Picnic in the Park, as a wide range of food trucks graced the Lamar City Park for both lunch and supper. Unfortunately, due to storms, the April event had to be canceled and from the looks of it, the May event more than made up for it. Offered were anywhere from full meals, to sandwiches, to flavored drinks and various sweets. The June Picnic in the Park will be held Thursday, June 26. They’d love to see you there.
