Walmart customers in Lamar were welcomed inside the newly transformed Supercenter at 29 SW 1st Lane on Friday morning, May 9, as the much-anticipated project is now complete. Walmart associates marked the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony by the Barton County Chamber of Commerce, as well as a community celebration and the unveiling of a community-inspired mural. The event featured a performance of the national anthem by the Lamar High School Band and recognition of the store’s 20+ year associates. The event was also attended by local Lamar organizations and elected officials including Lamar Mayor Mike Hull and Barton County Chamber of Commerce Director Kim O'Sullivan. To further illustrate Walmart’s commitment to helping others live better in the communities it serves, the store manager and several associates presented grants to local nonprofit organizations, including $3,500 to City of Lamar Police Department, $2,500 to Barton County Memorial Park, $500 to Barton Chamber of Commerce and $1,000 to Salvation Army – Lamar/Barton Service Extension.
