After careful consideration the Lula Mayor and Council have chosen to cancel this years Railroad Days Festival and Parade due to the on-going issues with the Coronavirus. The decision came after the recent work session of the city council where there was much discussion as to what served the communities best interest.
The “Good News” that did come from the lengthy discussion was the commitment from the council that when the opportunity to reopen to community activities that one of the first things the council would like to do is have “Community Celebration” probably at the newly renovated “DEPOT” with activities for young and old which hopefully will include entertainment from the stage and maybe a giant picnic. Our new downtown manager is already working on some fun ideas that should help bring us all together once again.
In the meantime the city has already been working on developing some more community activities to be presented throughout the year, with the hope of expanded activities with the Lula Fall Festival, Christmas in Lula Celebration, some new activities including “Movies in the Park” , Public Safety Days, Bubbles in the Park, Farmers Market, Plant Sales, Cornhole Tournaments, to name but a few ideas being considered.
For those already pre-registered for booth space for Railroad Days the city will be processing refunds over the next week so the checks should be in the mail shortly.
STAY SAFE… STAY HOME… SAVE LIVES
