Stars and Stripes Is Theme for the 2014 Parade Parade Route The parade travels along a two-mile route through the streets of Webster Groves and draws a crowd of thousands of spectators with more than 80 units. See map below. The parade begins at Lockwood and Selma and travels west on Lockwood. It turns south on South Gore and travels down Gore to Big Bend. It then turns east on Big Bend and turns one last time south on Elm Avenue. The parade ends at Memorial Park (at the intersection of Elm Avenue and Glendale Road). Marshals The grand marshal for this years parade is Mike Oppermann, who recently retired after 32 highly successful years as Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Webster Groves. In addition, we are honored to have volunteers from Webster Groves Masonic Temple to serve as parade marshals again this year, lining up units, enforcing security measures and securing the course. Parade Judges Judges for the parade are: Don Gerber, president of Gerber Chapel, which has been in Webster Groves for 52 years. Don is a prior Webster Groves Citizen of the Year. Joe Rath, president of Acme Printers-Lithographers, Inc., which has been in Webster Groves for 41 years. Roger Krull, owner of Rogers Produce, which has been in Webster Groves for 36 years. Judges have the honor of selecting parade units to receive awards in the various categories listed on this page. Awards will be given at the July 15 city council meeting. Parade Awards A frst place (Best) and an honorable mention (Outstanding) winner will be awarded in each of the following categories: Childrens Entry Civic Entry Classic Entry Commercial Entry Neighborhood Entry Performing Entry Best Theme Visiting Entry Novelty Unit Special Judges Awards (three awards for deserving units) Safety Of course, safety is of paramount importance, but parades have inherent risks, so its important that parade participants and spectators do all they can to help. With regard to parade units, several safety measures are in place and enforcement will be without exception. There will be no throwing of water balloons or large super soakers allowed from any parade unit or spectators. Each sizeable motorized unit will have wheel walkers, whose job it is to keep the path clear in front and on the sides of the unit. Parade participants will not be allowed to throw candy or other items from a moving unit, but they may have walkers who will hand the items to spectators on the sidewalks. Violators should be reported to a parade marshal or police offcer. Along the parade route, parents and adults should keep close track of their children and ensure that they are not endangering themselves by running in front of a parade vehicle to get a piece of candy or trinket. Remain on the curb or behind it. There will be no sales of water, ice cream, etc., on the street once the parade has started and 10 minutes prior to start time until the conclusion of the event. Safety is everyones job. Please help by doing what you can.

Ask a dozen adults what the highlight of the Webster Groves annual July 4 celebration is and you will get a dozen different answers: the freworks, the parade, the barbecue food, the entertainment, seeing friends and neighbors, and so forth. But ask a dozen children and teenagers about Community Day/July 4 celebration in Webster Groves and the answer will always be the same: The carnival rides are the very best! For the 89th consecutive year, the Lions Club of Webster Groves will hold its annual summertime carnival and barbecue. This tradition serves, frst and foremost, as an opportunity for families, friends and neighbors in the community to come together in a safe, pleasant and patriotic setting. Since 1926, the Webster Groves Lions Club has relied on its annual carnival and barbecue as the groups primary fundraising event of the year. Lots of Rides and Food This year promises to be one of the biggest and best July 4 events ever in Webster Groves! The Fairgrounds will be flled with more than a dozen colorful, fun and classic amusement rides, including a $5 million attraction provided by PBJ Happee Days Shows, Inc., one of the fnest companies of its kind. There are two nights of unlimited ride wristbands: -July 2 and 3. The huge Lions Club Food Tent will once again be one of the most popular places in town for all four days as a place to meet and, of course, eat. As always, Lions Club members will be grilling and serving a wide variety of freshly prepared and reasonably priced food, such as full slabs of ribs, half slabs of ribs, pork steaks, chicken, rib tips, rib eye steaks, bratwursts, hamburgers, hot dogs, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, baked beans and more. Outstanding Community Involvement The Lions Club of Webster Groves is involved all year in the planning and organizing of the Webster Groves Annual Community Days/July Fourth Celebration. This dedicated effort by the Lions Club began in 1960 when Webster Lions moved its summertime carnival and barbecue from Labor Day to July 4 as part of a then- new local event called Webster Groves Community Days. The subsequent 54-year partnership between the Lions Club and Websters overall July 4 festivities has been a very special and unique collaboration for the community and people from all parts of the metropolitan region. Hundreds of Volunteers In order for the Webster Lions July 4 carnival and barbecue to occur, members of the Lions Club and their families and friends sacrifce their personal holiday fun to work virtually non-stop for a full week on the Fairgrounds. From the time set-up begins until clean-up is concluded, more than 6,000 volunteer hours are expended by Lions Club members and many other volunteers. Everything on the July 4 Fairgrounds is coordinated and supervised by members of the Webster Groves Lions Club. The overall chairperson for the Webster Lions 2014 July 4 carnival and barbecue is Rob Halama. The Webster Lions donate substantial funding toward the spectacular freworks display on July 4. The Lions Club also commits signifcant fnancial support to the reconditioning and restoration of the Lions Athletic Fields following the July 4 carnival and barbecue. Memorable and Safe July Fourth Holiday The annual Webster Lions July 4 Carnival and Barbecue involves a considerable commitment to the community on the part of the Lions Club. Safety is always a foremost concern. Several years ago, for example, the Webster Lions spent $17,000 to upgrade the electrical system that serves the July 4 Fairgrounds site. The July 4 carnival and barbecue is the single largest project of the year for the Webster Groves Lions Club. Depending on the weather, the fnancial results are better some years than others. Year in and year out, the Lions Club works tirelessly to make the Community Days/July 4 festivities in Webster Groves a safe and memorable celebration for all! Many Benet from Webster Lions Generosity This carnival and barbecue is the Lions largest investment of time and money and the clubs major fundraiser for the whole year. As soon as the carnival ends the Lions begin planning for the next year. The Webster Groves Lions Club is proud of the many ways it is able to support its community. It is only able to do good work because of the direct and dedicated support of the very community in which it lives and works. Each year, the Lions award numerous $1,000 scholarships to promising young high school graduates in Webster Groves in May. Webster Groves and the Lions have a true synergy -- the ability to accomplish something greater together than anyone could do alone. Some past recipients of contributions from the Lions Club of Webster Groves include the following: Community Days/July 4 freworks, midway booths, Memorial Park maintenance restoration, Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Kilo Diabetes & Vascular Research Foundation, Meals on Wheels, St. Louis Society for the Blind, Leader Dogs for the Blind, Mid-South Eye Care Foundation, Missouri Lions All-Star Football Game, Mid-America Transplant Services, Missouri School for the Blind: Lions Athletic Fields at Memorial Park, Make-A-Difference Day in Webster Groves & Shrewsbury, Webster Groves Historical Society, Webster-Rock Hill Ministries, Webster Groves Fire Department, Webster Groves Police Department, Missouri Lions All-State Marching Band, the Learning Center, Webster Groves High School Baseball Team, Webster Groves High School Football Team Turkey Day Luncheon, college scholarship awards to 10 local high school graduates, DARE Program funding for grade schools in Webster Groves, Webster Groves High School Band, Young Life, Webster Groves Youth Baseball/Softball League and Lions Clubs International Foundation. Bring Old Eyeglasses and Used Sunglasses to the Fairgrounds An ongoing project of the Webster Lions and other Lions Clubs is the collection of old eyeglasses and sunglasses for recycling and reuse by people in Central and South America. In the midst of having fun and enjoying the July Fourth Fairgrounds, everyone is urged to bring and donate old eyeglasses and sunglasses at the Lions Club Booth in the Fairgrounds midway. These donated glasses will be recycled and become a Gift of Sight to needy people in other countries. Come visit the Webster Groves Lions at the carnival, on the midway and under the food tent!
