Rimersburg Lions Prep For Halloween Parade, Oct. 30th - Blood Drive, November 10

The Rimersburg Lions Club has several busy weeks ahead as it plans for its annual Halloween Parade and its third annual  Veteran’s Day Blood Drive.  

The Rimersburg Lion’s Halloween Parade is set for Thursday, October 30, 2025, with the parade scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. and lineup of all parade participants to start at 5:00 p.m. in front of Heeter Lumber Company on Main Street in Rimersburg. The parade is  scheduled in conjunction with Trick-or-Treat Night which will follow in Rimersburg Borough.  

The parade will progress down Main Street to the Rimersburg Community Building where judging of the participants will take place. 

Bring the whole family to Rimersburg this Halloween.

All parade participants must select from one of the following categories to be judged in at the time of lineup: Union High School Band, floats/groups (consists of 2 or more people or groups), prettiest, ugliest/scariest, and most creative. Participants cannot be judged in more than one category.  

Cash prizes will be awarded for the top three winning participants judged in each category with $30.00 for 1st prize, $20.00 for 2nd prize, and $10.00 for 3rd prize. All parade entries will be given a Halloween treat for their participation in the parade. 

“We welcome all children of the community, teens, and the young at heart to participate in this annual event sponsored by the Rimersburg Lions Club,” Lion’s Halloween Parade Coordinator Mike Graham stated.  

Lions Halloween Committee members include Lions Graham, Roger Crick, Jim Kifer, Sherri Nellis, and Rich Barger. 

Also on tap, the Lions Club will be holding its 3rd Annual Veteran’s Day Blood Drive on Monday, November 10, 2025 , the day  before Veteran’s Day due to scheduling conflicts at the donation site location.

The Lions Club will be sponsoring the American Red Cross Blood Drive, with the assistance of students of the National Honor Society, in the Union High School auxiliary gym located at 354 Baker Street in Rimersburg from noon to 5:00 p.m.

Individuals interested in giving blood at the drive should schedule an appointment by visiting www.redcrossblood .org or by calling the  American Red Cross at 1-800-733-2767. 

  “One way all area residents can do their patriotic duty this Veteran’s Day is by honoring the sacrifices American service members have made for our great  nation by giving blood on November 10th,” Rimersburg Lions Club Blood Drive Leader Greg Mortimer noted.

The Rimersburg Lions Club meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays each month at the Korner Restaurant beginning at 6:00 p.m. for their semi-monthly dinner  meeting.  Anyone wishing to join the community service organization should contact Membership Chair, Brenda Haws, at www.brendahaws@comcast.net or by calling (848) 459-3882.
