December 14, 2013 - Livermore Christmas Parade

Sponsored by the Livermore Lions Club

Finally.......It didn't rain, sleet, or snow.  There was no deluge of any wet 'stuff' coming out of the sky.  No ice on the streets to worry about. It was brisk though.  NO, it was COLD!  But it didn't matter to the parade participants.  On the evening of December 14th there was clearing on the horizon.  And at 5:00 pm sharp, they all stepped off to the sound of the many volunteer fire department vehicles' sirens. It was exhilerating!

There were about thirty decorated units that paraded through the streets of Livermore.  Candy was tossed to those in the crowds watching the parade while Christmas music resounded from the floats.  And then Santa and Mrs. Clause appeared and everything was well worth the wait.  It was a wonderful evening.

Thanks to all who participated in the parade and to those who came out to enjoy it!  See the winning floats below.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

11/11 @ 11 am - Veterans Day Celebration

As usual, the Livermore Veterans Day Celebration was a beautiful occasion honoring all who have served in the past and continue to do so.

George Rhodes opened the program with an intrduction of all Special Guests which was followed with the Presentation of Colors by the McLean County High School JROTC and the National Anthem sung by Wayne Morris.  The Veterans in attendance were then recognized as Florence Stodghill played each of the Armed Forces Service Hymns on the piano. 

George Rhodes honored those Veterans who passed away this past year in McLean County by reading each of their names.  After which, the McLean County Junior Reserves Officer Training Corp, Honor Guard, presented a beautiful Prisoner of War / Missing in Action Ceremony.

The guest speaker was Kentucky born, Eddie Price.  He was dressed in 1800's style buckskins and eloquently explained about Kentucky Veterans involvement in the War of 1812.  We learned our forefathers were in the thick of battle continuing to defend Kentucky's rights as well as our Country's freedom.  Wayne Morris concluded the program singing God Bless the U.S.A. with all joining in. 

At the conclusion of the program, everyone was invited to stay and join together in fellowship at a potluck dinner. After the potluck, the color guard led a parade consisting of the McLean County High School Bank, the Livermore Volunteer fire Truck and the Livermore Elementary School children to the Memorial Walkway at the Tank Park at 1:00 pm for honors and Taps to close the celebration with a balloon launch in memory of all Veterans.

October 26, 2013 - 2nd Annual Zombie Walk

 It was a night to remember!  Cool and crisp with   about 30 creepy, barely walking Zombies roaming the streets of Livermore.  They zoned in on several of Livermore residents, much to their fear, amazement and disbelief, returning to the City building in seach of hot chocolate and some hearty good laughs!

Several of the onlookers will not long forget this evening as they fled in the opposite direction of the moving flow of Zombies. 

Thanks to everyone for making this a special night, especially for the "Christmas for Kids" program!

 October 26, 2013 - boy Scout Troop 35 upgrades Nature Trail

Maintaining and upgrading Livermore's Rough River Nature Trail is an ongoing process for Boy Scout Troop 35.  They consistently keep it a viable natural park lands area and Saturday, October 26^th, they were at it again.  Flooding over the past years has not been kind to the Nature Trail and the bridges have taken the worst of it.  As part of his Eagle Scout project, Duncan Gowins participated in the construction of a new foot bridge replacing the original bridge which had been washed away in this year's floodwaters.  Several volunteers helped with the project including scout leader Dr. Ralph Thacker, Mayor John "Sonny" Renfrow, Doug Humphrey, Robert Humphrey, Parker Humphrey, Logan Nevitt, Bro. Andy Gowins and Duncan's good friend Kent.    Additionally, somehow Troop 35 was also able to pull the boat dock out of the Rough River for purposes of winter storage.  It was a full, full day for all involved!  Thanks to Troop 35!

September 2013 - boy scout project completed on riverfront

There's something else new on the riverfront!  As part of his Eagle Scout project, scout Jerry Farmer of Boy Scout Troop 35 has completed the construction of an educational kiosk at the northeast corner of the walking trail around the tank and pavilion area.  There will eventually be a map of the riverfront park, map of the nature trail, and information posted about various activities such as boat races and other upcoming events.  This is another welcome addition for Livermore, constructed by volunteers who care about the community and its people.  Nice job Jerry!

  

September 28, 2013-Riverfest & Classic Car & Truck Cruise-in

The 7th Annual Riverfest & Classic Car & Truck Cruise-in has come and gone and what a beautiful day we all had! The weather cooperated and the river breezes were just enough to keep us comfortable in the day-long sunshine!

The music was just right, the many food options throughout the day were more than sufficient, the Arts & Craft vendor booths displaying their wares ranged from license plate bird houses, tin men made from sardine cans, hand-made jewelry, various holiday wreath decor to painted light bulbs, gourds and dried okra! Such a wealth of color to lay one's eyes upon.  Mary Kay and Avon were there and Betsy, the Book Mobile rolled in just before 11:00.  The kids had their bouncy toys, train rides, face and hair painting, games galore and Mack the Clown and his 'chicken' car came to entertain everyone with his balloon magic!

The classic cars and trucks that started arriving for the Cruise-in at 10:30 that morning, varied in every shade of the rainbow and were priceless in their beauty and ability to take us all back to a different time in our lives.  And when the Cruise-Around town began about three in the afternoon, the ground shook as these wonderful automobiles rolled out.  It was a great sight and made everyone smile.

The "Peoples' Choice" trophy was awarded for the 1959 Ford T-Bird, owned by Bobby Thomas and driven by his daughter, Cherie Ogilby.  The "Mayor's Choice" trophy was awarded for the 1936 Ford Coupe, owned by Frank Shrader Jr.

The Copper Road Band completed the day with their country/rock entertainment enjoyed by old and young alike.

Thanks to our Sponsors, the Livermore Events Committee and to the many Volunteers who stepped up to the plate to make this 7th Annual Riverfest become reality!!

August 25, 2013 - "Thunder on the Green", KDBA Boat Races

This was the culmination to a fantastic weekend!  Chapel service was held that morning mid-course on the riverside and the boat races got underway at noon.

During the afternoon Mayor Sonny Renfrow had the opportunity to earn a 10 second license from the KDBA by making a high-speed pass down the Green River. 

One racer, Joe Don Summerville of Birmingham, Alabama did sustain minor injuries due to the unplanned deployment of his safety parachute.  He was jerked out of his boat by the deployed parachute but fortunately sustained only a minor scrape on his arm and plenty of bruises.

Mayor Renfrow expressed his appreciation for the willingness of local citizens and officials to help and pitch in.  The KDBA and all participants put on a wonderful show.  City employees were not utilized for this event - all prepatory work was donated by local citizens.  Mayor Renfrow stated "People are willing to lend not only their heads and hearts, but also their hands.  That helps make it successful." 

If you were unable to attend "Thunder" on Sunday, you can still view the days' events by clicking on the photo links below.  Additionally, the Time Trials on Saturday have a photo link available two articles down.

July 29, 2012 - Skate Park Elements Arrive!

8:00 am sharp, the flatbed truck arrived at the site of the new skatepark with a load of skate park elements.  Mark Logsdon drove his front-loader to the site and started unloading the various components, some weighing up to 7,000 pounds, onto the concrete poured just over a month ago.  With the help of Tony Logsdon, Mike Logsdon, David Edmonds, Mayor Sonny Renfrow and the two installers from America Ramp Company (ARC), Jeremy Chavez and Cole Murray, the skatepark began taking shape!  It will take  3-5 days to complete the installation and rainy and stormy conditions are not helping the situation, but Jeremy and Cole, with the help of local volunteers, are giving it their best shot.  It is the hope of Mayor Sonny Renfrow that by the weekend, the skatepark will be open for skateboarding, roller blading and BMX bike riding.

July 4, 2013 - Independence Day Celebration

What a wonderful holiday celebration we all shared !!!!

The 4th of July started out rainy and gloomy.   Communities all around Livermore were cancelling their fireworks and any events associated with the holiday due to inclement and rainy weather.  Volunteers in Livermore, however, continued to decorate and prepare for the celebration and got plenty wet in the process.  The rains did eventually stop, but the gloom persisted.  Everyone associated with the event continually checked their mobile units for the latest weather projection and potential fireworks attendees drove down by the river to check with the volunteers if the event was going to come off.  The answer always was "yes", provided the weather cooperates.  Which is did!

Kids of all ages assembled at the Livermore Missionary Baptist church parking lot at 4:30 with their decorated bicycles, scooters and wagons.  At 5:00 sharp, the parade began with the fire trucks and EMS truck in the lead.  There were about 60 participants in the parade all finely decked out in their holiday gear.  Such fun we all had and this was just the beginning!  The parade ended at the Pavilion on Dr. Sam Scott Drive, where Mr. & Mrs. Tom Newcom judged the participants' "decorated transportation".  First, Second and Third place winners received $15, $10 and $5, provided by the Livermore Lions Club.  Everyone else was also given a prize of $1 just for taking the time to decorate their equipment.

Hamburgers, hot dogs, pork burgers and drinks were available for purchase from the Livermore Lions Club.  The Livermore Woman's Club had ice cream available for purchase. And "Sweet Treats" had orange & lemon shake-ups, brownies & fried apple pies for purchase.

Independence Bank set up corn hole boards for anyone to play and they were constantly in use.  First Security Bank had a series of different games set up for the youngsters to play at their "Kids' Corner", always with a prize at the end of the games.  Ace Hardware sponsored the music by Aaron Pate and the Kentucky Clear Band.  There were several folks dancing to the music and others just set back and enjoyed it.  B.F. Evans provided numerous essentials for the event, including water and decorations.  Independence bank sponsored a watermelon eating contest for all age groups as well as Bingo and popcorn.  And finally, at dusk, the fireworks show (sponsored by Independence Bank) started with a bang and many declared they were the "best ever"!

AND it never rained on our 'Parade' or Independence Celebration!  We can thank the good Lord for that blessing!

June 29, 2013 -  Skatepark - 2nd concrete pour!!!

This is the day we finish the concrete pad for the skatepark!  At 6:00 am, there were already 17 volunteers on hand which is 5 more than we had on the first pour!  The concrete trucks arrived and as the concrete flowed out of the shute, the volunteers all dove into the concrete (so to speak) with their 'rakes' spreading the heavy, wet concrete in preparation for the skreeting which levels the concrete and then the float which smooths it out!   Fortunately, the heat index only rose into the low 80's versus the first pour temps which were in the 90's.  But it is still hot heavy work, no matter how you look at it.  Can't say enough kind words about all of the helpers - it's amazing when so many people pull together to bring about something unique and special for our city's kids - young and old alike! 

Now we need to give the freshly poured concrete pad about a month to fully cure, at which point the features associated with skate parks such as a 'grinder', 'table top', 'curved rail', etc. will arrive and be installed.  Thanks again to everyone who enabled this project to actually start taking 'form'!

Ann Renfrow, President of the Livermore Woman’s Club, presents checks in the amount of $3,393.30 to Executive Director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Inc., Kayla Aydt.  The contribution resulted from the very successful MDA 5K Run/Walk held in Livermore, KY on April 13^th.  Also in attendance were two of the 4-member Event Committee, Marsha Logsdon and Mary Atherton.  The 4^th member, Stella Gross was unavailable.

April 13 - Muscular Dystrophy 5K Run/Walk

"Team Tessa"

Sponsored by the Livermore Woman's Club, a 5K Run/Walk through the streets of Livermore was held, April 13th, in support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  This organization is close to the heart of our Community, as one of our own, Tessa Wilkerson, has a form of the Muscular Dystrophy disease.  She was diagnosed at 10 months and just celebrated her 16th birthday this past month.  Over 130 runners and walkers showed up for this cause.  There were several who were proud to run and walk as part of "Tessa's Team".  She developed the design and logo on her special t-shirt which expresses her to a "T".  The T-shirt reads "I'd rather be different than normal".    We had young and old alike, all moving for the same purpose.   It was an exceptional day for a 5K run through Livermore and many took advantage of this opportunity.

The Livermore Woman's Club wants to thank everyone who became so involved in the successful implementation of this event: 

• The Livermore Volunteer Fire Department and EMT's were hugely helpful, as they were available if necessary and also assisted in blocking intersections for the safety of the 5K Runners/Walkers.
• The Mayor of Livermore, Mayor Sonny Renfrow was extremely helpful in the selection of the route, blocking streets for the safe passage of the runners and walkers and coordinating the many volunteers who were posted along the route to help guide the race participants.
• On Friday, there were several club members who actually did walk & clean the 3.1 mile route in preparation for the runners, by sweeping, shoveling, using our leaf blowers and filling 6 garbage bags with road debris - all in an effort to make it safer for the runners and walkers.
• Several citizens jumped in anywhere we needed assistance on the day of the event and ran with whatever duties they were assigned.
• The many Sponsors throughout McLean County who supported this effort.
• The participating runners and walkers!
• It took a 'Village' indeed, but it also took Club members, their spouses, families and friends!  We had over 30 volunteers - above and beyond our own club members!  Pitching in made it all come together and work pretty much like clock work.
