The annual fireworks show that is put on by Truman Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center’s facility on 1st St., in Lamar, was spectacular, as usual. The event was held Wednesday, July 1, with many residents, guests and members of the community enjoying the show. Prior to the fireworks, Truman offered free hot dogs and chips. Also available was a local food truck, Not Ya Mommas Waffles & Lemonade and snow cones by Hospice Compassus. DJ services were provided by Landon Myers. This is an event that both residents and community members look forward to yearly. Anyone wishing to make a donation for next year’s show, let them know. I’m sure they would appreciate the help.

Longtime Lamar resident Carol Burch celebrated her 65th birthday on Friday, June 26, with family, friends and classmates who gathered at Tractor’s to recognize this special lady. Carol graduated with the Lamar High School Class of 1980 and on her class trip she became fast friends with many of her fellow students, never realizing that the friends she made on that trip would play such a major role in her life. Carol received many presents, but the one that brought her to tears was a Lamar Tiger t-shirt quilt. Classmates had gathered various t-shirts recognizing the Tigers, then sent them off to have a quilt made. Although Carol presently lives up near Kansas City, she will always think of Lamar as her hometown and from the love that is shown to her, it always will be.
