Finding Joy in Lyons

April is National Poetry Month

Here in Lyons, we are so fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful views and inspiring visual art. Now, the Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission (LAHC) is calling all area poets to submit poems inspired by a similar theme “Finding Joy and Beauty in Lyons” for its inaugural Lyons Poetry in Public Places project.

What does it mean to you, in your everyday life, in your memory, in your heart to find joy and beauty in Lyons?

Put those thoughts on paper in an artful way. LAHC members will serve as judges. Prizes will be award and poems will be selected to be exhibited on posters that will be displayed throughout the Town of Lyons. Learn more!

Lyons River Clean Up

Saturday, May 1st | 10 am - noon

Earth Day River Cleanup Scheduled -- We Need Your Help

Established in 1970, Earth Day is celebrated worldwide on April 22. The event was created to give voice to the many environmental concerns in the United States and across the globe. Today, 193 countries actively participate in civic engagement and volunteer events for Earth Day.

In Lyons, we understand that everyday is Earth Day. To usher in Earth Day, the Sustainable Futures Commission (SFC) is organizing a St. Vrain river cleanup on Saturday, May 1. Join local residents and volunteer your time to band together and tackle litter in the St. Vrain River corridor in town and help with the river cleanup. The St. Vrain River is a treasured resource for all of us and a healthy community starts with a healthy river. Clean rivers provide everything from clean drinking water to recreation opportunities to fish and wildlife habitat. The St. Vrain cleanup is a visible way our community can celebrate and participate in Everyday Earth Day. In addition, Can’d Aid will be providing bags for trash pickup.

The cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, May 1, from 10 AM to noon. Volunteers should meet at the Bohn Park concession and restroom building at 9:45 AM. At that time, you will be assigned a cleanup area and provided with a waiver form. Trash bags will be provided by Can'd Aid.
