LAWRENCEBURG<br />

Lawrenceburg is definitely<br />
A City On The Rise, drawing<br />
folks from neighboring<br />
communities (and beyond)<br />
to the multitude of activities<br />
that have taken place this<br />
summer.<br />
At a recent split the pot<br />
at Music on the River, the<br />
winner was a resident of Tennessee<br />
here on vacation. For<br />
those of you who have faithfully<br />
bought split-the-pot<br />
tickets and lost (like me!),<br />
rest assured that the money<br />
was well spent as many<br />
charities have benefited from<br />
your donation.<br />
Music on the River for<br />
<strong>2023</strong> is now just a memory.<br />
The free concerts on<br />
Thursday nights have drawn<br />
Rob Schuette of Lawrenceburg<br />
Fire Deptartment supervising<br />
the Firetruck pull.<br />
thousands and the entertainment<br />
was fantastic. Officer<br />
Thomas was a hit one<br />
evening as he was reluctantly<br />
coaxed on stage to dance<br />
to the beat of an all-woman<br />
band. The crowd went wild.<br />
Unfortunately, Elvis has<br />
left the building for the year<br />
<strong>2023</strong> and will be sorely<br />
missed. However, the activities<br />
in the City Park continued<br />
with Summerfest Music,<br />
Fall Fest, and firetruck pulls.<br />
Looking to the next few<br />
months, I can’t wait to see<br />
what the holidays and future<br />
new restaurants have in store<br />
for us.<br />
While fall brings “back to<br />
school” sports and activities,<br />
it also ushers forth the need<br />
Lauren and Morgan Fryman,<br />
Dillsboro, daughters of Tina<br />
& Jerry Fryman, with Sparky.<br />
to get projects done before<br />
winter. The church steeples<br />
of Lawrenceburg, particularly<br />
St. John’s on Ludlow Hill<br />
and St. Lawrence downtown<br />
required some heavy-duty<br />
equipment rental to get some<br />
maintenance projects done.<br />
As I snapped these photos,<br />
I wondered—how was this<br />
work accomplished when the<br />
steeple was originally built?<br />
Congratulations to Patrick<br />
Schwartz and Nancy Nicolai<br />
on the birth of their daughter<br />
Olive Margaret. Patrick and<br />
Nancy are Lawrenceburg<br />
high school graduates living<br />
in Madison, WI while Patrick<br />
finishes his residency in<br />
general surgery. Nancy has a<br />
doctorate in physical therapy<br />
and is the lead therapist at a<br />
hospital. Proud grandparents<br />
are Julie and Jeff Schwartz<br />
Officer Thomas<br />
and Phil and Kate Nicolai.<br />
Happy eighty-third birthday<br />
to Gary Klopp. Gary<br />
was a former Lawrenceburg<br />
fire captain and an avid Harley<br />
rider from a young age<br />
up until his 70’s. A birthday<br />
Trevor Lattire repairing siding<br />
on steeple at St. John<br />
Bellaire.<br />
parade on Ludlow Hill was<br />
held in his honor.<br />
See you next month for a<br />
recap of all the fun activities<br />
that fall will bring!<br />
