“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:

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!
