December 12, 2020 - Livermore Lions Club Christmas Parade 

After careful consultation with officials, sponsors, and health professionals and out of concern for the safety of our citizens, participants, and volunteers, the Livermore Lions Club and the City of Livermore have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Livermore Christmas Parade scheduled for December 12, 2020.

Following overwhelming concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus, seeing a continuing surge in the number of positive cases regionally since November 1^st, we agreed that hosting a large gathering of people is not the safest and wisest way to proceed during such an unprecedented situation. The Lions Club is very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event but we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

We make this decision after much discussion and with the understanding that there will be some that may not understand or support the decision to cancel. The safety of the public is always at the forefront of our planning and this decision was extremely hard to make but public safety must be our priority.

Please know that we remain committed to the annual Christmas parade and will begin planning for the 2021 parade soon. Please continue to watch our FaceBook page for announcements of events to come!

august 22-23, 2020 - Thunder on the green event canceled - 25th running postponed until 2021.

The 25th annual Thunder on the Green drag boat racing event in Livermore has been postponed, according to an announcement from Kentucky Drag Boat Association president Barry Salsman.

Salsman announced the postponement on the KDBA Facebook page and at Livermore City Council last Thursday. The event, originally scheduled for this coming Aug. 22-23, will be postponed until Aug. 28 and 29 next year, according to the statement read at the city council meeting.

The decision, according to the announcement, was made after much consideration and discussion amongst the KDBA and local authorities in an effort to comply with current state restriction on large social gatherings and maintain the health and safety of fans and racers.

“The permit for the river could not be issued due to limit of people allowed for public gathering. Hate to see this happen because all the people and sponsors have been so good to us for the last 24 years. Hopefully this Corona virus will be gone by 2021 and we can get back to Thunder on the Green 25th running,” Salsman stated in KDBA’s Facebook announcement.

While the Livermore event has been postponed for next year, Salsman stated that the Lake Lucas races in Wheatland, Missouri would still take place, as of right now, on Aug. 1-2 and Sept. 5-6 this year.

“The KDBA wishes to thank the City of Livermore, all of our sponsors, race teams, vendors, and most of all, our racing fans, for your continued support,” read the announcement. “We look forward to the 25th running of Thunder on the Green next year. Until then, stay safe and see you on the water.”
