“Groovin’ In Webster Groves” Theme For 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.

Parade organizers are happy to announce

that the Budweiser Clydesdales are back!

Don’t miss the massiveness of these

magnicent horses!

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 year’s

parade is the Missouri State Champion

Webster Groves High School soccer

team. 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. Their special guest is Dave

Haywood, the Masons’ Grand Master

for the State of Missouri.

Parade Judges

Judges for the parade are:

• Larry Bononi, owner ofFreddie’s Market in Webster Groves.

• Gwen Peiper, director of the

Musical Arts Academy in Webster

Groves.

• Bruce Shoults, owner of The

Great Frame Up in Webster Groves.

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 21

city council meeting.

Parade Awards

A rst place (Best) and an honorable

mention (Outstanding) winner will

be awarded in each of the following

categories:

• Children’s 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 it’s important that parade

participants and spectators do all they

can to help. The parade, of more than

80 units, travels along a two-mile route

through the streets of Webster Groves

and draws a crowd of thousands of

spectators.

• 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 itemsfrom a moving unit, but they may have

walkers to hand the items to spectators

on the sidewalks. Violators should be

reported to a parade marshal or police

ofcer.

• 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 everyone’s job. Please help bydoing what you can.

Saturday, July 4 at 10 a.m.• Begins at Lockwood & Selma, ends at

Elm & Glendale (Memorial Park)

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 reworks,

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 90th consecutive year, the

Lions Club of Webster Groves will hold

its annual summertime carnival and

barbecue. This tradition serves, rst 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 group’s

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

lled with more than a dozen colorful, funand classic amusement rides, including

a $5 million attraction provided by PBJ

Happee Days Shows, Inc., one of the nest

companies of its kind. There are two nights

of unlimited ride wristbands: July 1 and 2.

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 55-year

partnership between the Lions Club and

Webster’s 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 — sacrice their personal holiday

fun to work virtually non-stop for a full

week on the Fairgrounds. From the timeset-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 2015 July 4 carnival

and barbecue is John Gregory.

The Webster Lions donate substantial

funding toward the spectacular reworks

display on July 4. The Lions Club also

commits signicant nancial 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 nancial 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 Benefit from

Webster Lions Generosity

This carnival and barbecue is the Lions’

largest investment of time and money

and the club’s 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.

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 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!

An ever-popular event associated with Community Days is the Miss Webster Groves

Pageant. The goal of the pageant is to select a well-rounded representative of the City of

Webster Groves, who may appear at various activities throughout the year. Each candidate

is qualied to be the next teen ambassador, Miss Webster Groves 2015.

Candidate Qualifications

Candidates are Webster Groves residents entering or exiting grades 10-12. They will

be judged in the areas of interview, poise and appearance, sportswear, evening wear

and contribution to the community, with some weight given to grade point average with

curriculum justication.

Mistress of Ceremonies

Miss Webster 2011 Cari Christiana Hill will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies this year.

Cari attends school at William Jewell College, where she double majors in political science

and communication. She works as an assistant for the ofce of admissions and serves as a

student host for her college president. She is also the co-chair of the Multicultural Board of

Representation and co-founder and vice president of the Cardinal Steppers.

Judges

Our judges this year include Webster Groves City Council Member Debi Salberg, past

Miss Websters Melinda Bond (1991) and Webster-Kirkwood Times columnist Mary Bufe.

Pageant Entertainment

SpaceShip will perform for the pageant this year. SpaceShip is an intergalactic musical

outt comprised of sentient beings who have manifested on planet Earth to bring about mind

expanding vibrational rhythms and tonal contemplations. They vibrate within frequencies

that resonate within the spectrums of molecular jazz fusion and nebular space funk.

Musical units consist of Ryan Benthall on keys, Jake Zengerling on bass guitar, Stephen

Haake on drums, and A.J. Lane on trumpet and keys—a must hear!

Choreographing the pageant for her rst year is Evette Markley. A St. Louis native, Evette

is 21 years old and considers herself to be a free spirit and a jack of all trades. She joined

LaVerne Meier school of dance at a young age, took all kinds of classes including tap,

ballet, point, lyrical, gymnastics, jazz and poms, and danced until she was 14. As the years

passed, she realized she needed to follow her dreams and nd true happiness. Besides

dancing, Eve is a hairstylist, artist, creator and entrepreneur. Eve is more than grateful for

this special opportunity to teach what she loves to others. She is excited to work with the

Webster Groves community and honored to be a part of the Miss Webster Groves Pageant!

Pageant Contributors and Sponsors

The 2015 pageant would not be possible without all the community support it receives.

Each Miss Webster candidate is sponsored by a local merchant or organization. Candidate

photos and brief biographies can be found on following pages. Huge thanks go out to

each and every candidate’s sponsor. Please support the following merchants who have so

graciously sponsored the pageant:

egories. Blue Ribbon Grooming provides

the prizes and unenviable judging posi-

tions for this ever-popular event.

Participants may enter a maximum of

three categories. Certicates are given

to all entrants. Ribbons and prizes will

also be awarded to rst, second and

third places in the following categories:

• Best Trick

• Funniest Looking

• Best Costume

• Pet/Owner Look-Alike

• Best Pet Joke (available to kids with or

without a pet)

• Best Float

The Pet Parade will be held in the

gymnasium at the Webster Groves Rec-reation Complex. What a wonderful way

to stay cool!

Friday, July 37:15 - 11 p.m. (with a break for reworks)

Entertainment - BoogieFoot (variety)

BoogieFoot is an amalgamation of its members’

diverse musical backgrounds, each bringing a little

something different to the table to the smorgasbord

of scrumptious songs. Band members include Art Link

(drums), Billy Moran (bass guitar from Webster Groves),

Brendan Smith (guitar and vocals), Harrison Rich (sax),

Kurt Schmid (trumpet), and Steve Wamser (keys &

All musical appetites will be satised by this array

of members from current and past local bands who

have entertained throughout the area in many different

venues.

Boogie stew features the following ingredients:

some spicy New Orleans kick (Dr. John, The Meters,

Trombone Shorty, etc.), a blend of classic rock (Rolling

Stones, Steely Dan, etc.), a hefty helping of funk-fried

R&B (Bill Withers, Billy Preston, Stevie Wonder, etc.), a

dab of jazz (Cannonball Adderly, Freddie Hubbard, etc.)

and some special secret spices thrown in to bring it all

to a scrumptious boiling boogie. No one will leave the

joint hungry, but they will all be asking for more!
