“Hometown Fun In The Summertime” Is

Theme For The 2009 Fourth Of July Parade
Saturday, July 4 at 10 a.m.
•  Begins at Lockwood & Selma, ends at Elm &
Glendale (Memorial Park)
•  Theme: “Hometown Fun in the Summertime”
Parade Route
The Parade travels along a two-mile
route through the streets of Webster
Groves and draws a crowd of thou-
sands of spectators with nearly 100
units. See map below.
The parade begins at Lockwood
and Selma and travels west on Lock-
wood. 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 Budweiser Clydesdales are the
Grand Marshals for the 2009 Parade.
You’ll see the full hitch of beautiful
horses. 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 2009 parade are:
•  Marilynne Bradley, Arts Commis-
sion
•  Aimee Rich, Business Develop-
ment Commission
•  Jim Bulejski, Architectural Re-
view Board
Judges have the unenviable task
of selecting parade units to receive
awards in the various categories listed
below. Units should include adequate
signage to be considered for awards,
as there is no emcee for the event.
Awards will be given at the July 21
City Council meeting.
Parade Awards
For each category
there will be a first place
(Best) and an honorable
mention (Outstanding)
winner awarded. The
categories are as fol-
lows:
Children’s Entry, Civic
Entry, Classic Entry,
Commercial Entry,

Webster Groves Lions Club Hosts
83rd Year Of Carnival & Barbecue
•  July 1 through July 4 on Lions Athletic Fields at Memorial Park
(Elm & I-44)
•  See Schedule of Events on page for Hours of Operation
•  Bonneville Radio Group will be present all four days, including
106.5 The Arch, 92.3 WIL and 101 ESPN
Ask a dozen adults what the highlight of the Web-
ster Groves’ annual July 4th Celebration is, and you
will get a dozen different answers: the fire-
works, the parade, the BBQ food, the en-
tertainment, seeing friends and neigh-
bors, and so forth. But, ask a dozen
children and teenagers about the
Community Days/July 4th celebra-
tion in Webster Groves, and the an-
swer will almost always be the same:
the Carnival Rides are the very best!
For the 83rd consecutive year,
the Lions Club of Webster Groves
will hold its annual summer-time Carnival &
Barbecue. This tradition serves first and foremost as
an opportunity for families, friends and neighbors in
the community to come together in a safe, pleasant
and patriotic setting.
And, since 1926, the Webster Groves Lions Club
has relied on their annual Carnival & Barbecue as the
group’s primary fundraising event of the year.
Bonneville Radio Group:
A Great Radio Partner!
Bonneville Radio Group will be represented on
the Lions Club July 4th Fairgrounds by three popu-
lar and dynamic
Radio Stations:
106.5 The Arch,
92.3 WIL and
101 ESPN. The
presence of
these radio sta-
tions will add to
the lively atmo-
sphere of July
4th in Webster Groves. On-air personalities from
these three radio stations will be present to mix &
mingle, to do live call-in reports, and to broadcast
live from the Fairgrounds.
The radio stations’ booth will be a busy and excit-
ing place to visit. The radio stations will offer oppor-
tunities at their Booth to win great prizes. And, the
on-air personalities and staff from the radio stations
will add substantially to the fun on the Fairgrounds.
Bring Old Eyeglasses &
Used Sunglasses To The Fairgrounds
An on-going project of the Webster Lions and
other Lions Clubs, too, is the collection of old eye-
glasses and used sunglasses for recycling and for re-
use by people in Central America and South America.
In fact, a group of Lions Club members from Metro
St. Louis will be taking old eyeglasses and used sun-
glasses to some rural villages in Mexico in August.
But, at this time, there is an acute shortage of eye-
glasses and sunglasses available for this upcoming
Lions Clubs “Vision Mission”.
In the midst of having fun and enjoying the July
Happy 4th of July!

4th Fairgrounds, everyone is urged to bring and
to donate old eyeglasses and used sunglasses at the
Lions Club Booth in the Fairgrounds Mid-Way.
These donated eyeglasses and sunglasses
will be recycled and become a “Gift of
Sight” to needy people in rural Mexico.
Lots of Rides & Food
This year promises to be one of
the biggest and best July 4th events
ever in Webster Groves! The Fairgrounds
will be filled with more than a dozen col-
orful, fun and classic amusement rides pro-
vided by PBJ Happee Days Shows, Inc., one of
the finest companies of its kind. 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, to 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, ribeye
steaks, bratwursts, hamburgers, hot dogs, baked po-
tatoes, corn on the cob, baked beans, and more.
Outstanding Community Involvement
The Lions Club of Webster Groves is involved all
year long in the planning and organizing of Web-
ster’s annual Community Days/July 4th celebration.
This dedicated effort by the Lions Club began in 1960
when the Webster Lions moved its 34-year-running
summertime carnival and barbecue from Labor Day
to July 4th as part of a then-new local event called
Webster Groves Community Days.
The subsequent 49-year partnership between the
Lions Club and Webster’s overall July 4th festivities
has been a very special and very unique collabora-
tion for the community and for people from all parts
of the metropolitan region.
Hundreds of Volunteers
In order for the Webster Lions July 4th Carnival
and Barbecue to occur, members of the Lions Club
— and their families and friends — sacrifice 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 mem-
bers and many other volunteers. Everything on the
July 4th Fairgrounds is coordinated and supervised
by members of the Webster Groves Lions Club. The
overall Chairperson for the Webster Lions 2009 July
4th Carnival and Barbecue is Greg Hanser.
The Webster Lions also donate substantial fund-
ing toward the spectacular fireworks display on July
4. The Lions Club also commits significant financial
support to the reconditioning and restoration of the
Lions Athletic Fields following the July 4th Carnival
and Barbecue.
Enjoy Community Days!

Memorable & Safe July 4th Holiday
The annual Webster Lions July 4th Carnival and
Barbecue involves a considerable commitment to
the community on the part of the Lions Club. And,
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
4th Fairgrounds site.
The July 4th Carnival and Barbecue is the single
largest project of the year for the Webster Groves Li-
ons Club. Depending on the weather, the financial
results are better some years than others. Year in
and year out, the Lions Club works tirelessly to make
the Community Days/July 4th festivities in Webster
Groves a safe and memorable celebration for all!

Jungle Studs. While Fred is comfortable and
skilled at playing any genre, his first love has al-
hundreds of concerts in his teens.
After graduation, Fred traveled to the Bay
Area, following his instincts, heart, and dreams,
and finding an at-
mosphere that was
very conducive to
music. After 28
years in California,
Fred moved back to
Webster Groves in
1999. He concen-
trated on his family and his nursing career. Mu-
sic was always there, but he focused on writing
and recording songs instead of performing.
In the past year, Fred has been devoted to
forming a band, and playing regularly. He has
played the Sheldon Concert Hall and B.B.’s in St.
Louis, and regularly plays at the Hwy 61 Road-
house in Webster Groves. During the next year
Fred will write and produce the first Fred Dick-
erson Band CD. It will include all original ma-
terial; a Midwestern tour will follow. His music
will take him to his next destination.

Donate used eyeglasses,

old reading glasses and any type of
sunglasses at the Lions Club Booth in the
Mid-Way of the “July 4th” Fairgrounds
An on-going project of the Webster Groves Lions Club and other Lions Clubs in Metro
St. Louis is the collection of used eyeglasses, old reading glasses, and any type of sunglasses.
These items are recycled by Lions Clubs for re-use by needy people in Central America and
South America. In fact, a group of local Lions Club members will be going to rural Mexico
in August as part of a Lions Clubs’ “Vision Mission.” At this time, though, there is an acute
shortage of eyeglasses, reading glasses and sunglasses available.

During the Webster Lions “July 4th” Carnival & Barbecue, everyone is heartily
encouraged to bring used eyeglasses, old reading glasses or any type of sunglasses to the Lions
Club Booth in the Mid-Way on the Fairgrounds. Lions Club members from numerous
Lions Clubs in the area will be on hand to gladly accept the donations of eyeglasses and
sunglasses.

The Webster Groves Lions Club has eyeglass collection boxes at various locations
throughout the community, too, including the Schnuck’s Supermarket at Big Bend and Elm,
Webster Eye Care, Webster Groves Public Library, Webster University, Shepherd’s Center at
the Christian Life Center, Webster Groves Recreation Complex, Sappington Farmers’
Market, Porter’s Fried Chicken, Shur-Way Auto Body, Webster Groves Christian Church,
