Something we don't often see in town anymore - horses crossing Maine Avenue!

We've seen a few posts go out about a LHS shirt being offered online. These are FAKE! This is not a shirt we offer. These people are not LHS members and are NOT AUTHORIZED to sell any merchandise on our behalf. Our LHS shirts are on sale only in our Gift Shop at our History Center (the Olde Community Church) - we do not sell our merchandise online. This appears to be for private gain and will not benefit LHS in any way. We have no way of knowing where your money might go if you try to purchase one. They have been reported. Be careful.

It's been a number of years since LHS had a float in our Western Days Parade, but it seemed like a good time to get back in it. Not only is our great country celebrating its 250th anniversary this year, but Lakeside turned 140 in March! Also, our historic Olde Community Church - the first church in Lakeside - is now 130 years old! We had a great time with our own Dusty Rhodes piloting the truck (loaned to us by Ironman Enterprises) and Billy "Outlaw" Ortiz riding shotgun. On the trailer (furnished by River Oaks Ranch) we had the Old Timey Old Timers (Carl Constentino, Chuck Preble, and the other Chuck - "Doc" Francis) playing some good old fashioned banjo music along the way, as well as LHS Co-VP Connor Hall, Gary Mitrovich, and his sister, Karen Mitrovich-Dotson on board for the ride. I think the crowd liked the air horn the best!
