Laingsburg Lions Club Springtime Festival

The Laingsburg Lions Club’s largest annual fundraiser, its Springtime Festival, will offer summery fun for all ages from Thursday through Monday. The event raises approximately $10,000 each year for the club, which uses the funds to support local service projects and community organizations.

New events this year are a cornhole tournament at noon Saturday, with registration beginning at 11 a.m.; performances by juggler Clark Lewis at noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday; and Kick-N-Style Line Dancing at 2 p.m. Sunday for beginners at 3 p.m. Sunday for intermediate dancers.

A carnival will offer rides, games of chance and food such as elephant ears and corn dogs. Ride bracelets are $25 on Thursday and Monday and $30 Friday through Sunday. Beer will be available for purchase on Saturday, courtesy of American Legion Post 248.

More than 40 local artisans will line North Woodhill Road and McClintock Park for the arts and crafts show, running Friday through Sunday. Wares will include candles, tumblers, stained glass, wreaths, lawn decor and more.

The annual parade will kick off at 11 a.m. Saturday on Woodbury Road near Laingsburg Cemetery and continue to the end of the carnival midway. The theme is “God Bless America.” Participants are encouraged to register for the parade ahead of time by calling Bekah Allen at (517) 927-2193 or emailing her at bekahallen49@gmail.com. Children can decorate their bikes and compete in a contest for cash prizes. Judging will begin at 10:15 a.m. in the First Baptist Church parking lot. Bike contest participants will receive free ice cream after the parade.

In addition to running the beer tent, American Legion Post 248 will hold a community breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sunday and a Memorial Day Service at 11 a.m. Monday at the cemetery.
