Clermont Rodeo, Parade to Return in September
Published August 2019
The Clermont Rodeo, Indiana's longest-running rodeo, is back on Saturday, September 14, at our own Clermont Lions Club Park. A free family preview hour will precede the main event at 7:30 p.m. Pre-sale discounted tickets are available now from Lions Club members. For event and ticket information, please check the rodeo or club's Facebook pages.
The Clermont Parade usually accompanies the rodeo, but this year it will be the next Saturday (September 21) instead. The parade will start at 11 a.m. and proceed from Raceway Road down Crawfordsville Road to Tansel Road, where it will turn south until heading east on Kathleen Ave. to finish at Robey Elementary School. This is always a fun event for area families to attend, so make plans to join your neighbors for this annual tradition. The Lions Club is looking for more entries, so if you have ever wanted to participate in the parade itself, this could be your chance! Businesses, organizations/clubs/groups, and individuals are welcome to be in the parade. Just contact parade organizer Nancy Baxter at nancybaxter1011@yahoo.com or 317-833-2435. Note: You may recall that the parade was not scheduled to return this year, but popular demand brought it back. If you could help organize this beloved event next year, let Nancy know!

Clermont History Project -- Photos Wanted
Published July 2019
Many Clermont residents have lived in or around town for decades, and they can attest to the fact that much has changed, even in the last 5, 10, 20 years! Many new residents are unaware of what life in Clermont was like even a few years ago, and some have been asking about the history of their older homes or buildings in town. If you have photos that show events, schools, streets, houses, churches, shops, farms, and life in general from in and around Clermont--even from the early 2000s--your town councillor Mike Beam would be happy to scan your photos and preserve them as part of an ongoing Clermont history project. Currently, Mike fields historical questions from residents and relies on newspaper articles he can find, library reference documents, or the scattered stories and photos across social media. But your own local photos, family memoirs, postcards, and other historical items would be even more helpful! Contact Mike at ClermontMikeBeam@gmail.com if you have photos or another item to share (it's OK if the photos include people!).
