(Lewis, Iowa) – The Lewis Community Club is holding a celebration of the community this Saturday which is also Flag Day. The Lewis Day Celebration takes place from 2-until 10-p.m., Saturday. Lewis Community Club member Duane Weirich says the timing is an unintended, but welcome coincidence.

Weirich said they’ve been planning for the event since late April, but they could still use some help serving pop and beer. He says the day will be a family event, with several kids games.

There’s also an unusual, “Stand-still parade.” Weirich explains how that idea came about.

Anyone who likes parades can attend and interact with those in-line, just as if your were standing there or sitting in a lawn chair next to your neighbor. There will also be a 30-by-38 American Flag available to viewing. There’s also lots of good food on hand, with the smell of barbecued beef wafting through downtown Lewis.

There’s also tractor pedal tractors for little kids, middle-size kids and adults. And, some”tricky trikes.”

There are antique firetruck rides around the Lewis Freedom Rock, a car show-and-shine, music, and fireworks at dusk. Grand Marshall for the event is long-time community supporter, Betty Auten.
