LYONS - Nineteen years ago, Lyons Historian Patricia Alena helped to
start Peppermint Days to celebrate the town’s historic roots in the
peppermint industry. The festival has grown each year, as it attracts
more and more people to the village for parades, fireworks and events
in the village park.
But along with growth comes expense, said Lyons Main Street Executive
Director Jerry Ashley, who this year is helping to coordinate the grand
parade.
“We’ve fallen on hard times, like most festivals have,” said Ashley,
noting the sluggish economy doesn’t leave people with a lot of extra
money to donate when they might have before, to support community
events.

Restoration Moving Ahead
Tuesday, June 30 2009
BUTLER - The Butler Historical Society, which has owned the Roe Schoolhouse for just 16 months, has already raised $25,000 for its renovation.
“We expect our total cost to be in the $50,000 range, but a lot of that will depend on the most expensive part of that, being the cost of repair of the cobblestone exterior,” said Robert Mead, who is working on the project.
He said the cobblestone mason will be on site this week, starting the process.
To date, all of the restoration work on the former schoolhouse at the corner of VanVleck and Route 89, with the exception of the new roof, has been done with volunteer labor. The total hours of volunteer labor now stands at 850 hours.
