This year’s theme for Lawler Irish Fest is:
Slainte! Irish & Proud
The Irish word for cheers is sláinte, which is pronounced somewhat similarly to “slawn-che.” Sláinte means “health”, and if you’re feeling brave, you can say sláinte is táinte (“slawn-che iss toin-che”), meaning “health and wealth”!
We are proud of our heritage and our community! Come celebrate both at Lawler Irish Fest IX the 3rd weekend in June, Friday, June 16th & Saturday, June 17th!
The Irish Fest Committee has been hard at work to bring you the best festival yet for 2023! Bringing the community together is a goal of the Fest & hope that you and your families will join us for another great weekend of entertainment!

The Lawler Lions host an annual event where all of the proceeds go to an organization that helps Chickasaw County residents and in the past couple years they have helped raise money for the 3D Mammography at Mercy One in New Hampton and the 6 libraries in the Chickasaw County. Unfortunately when COVID hit we were unable to host the annual event.
This year the funds will benefit New Hampton’s Kindness Square Inclusive Park. An Inclusive Playground welcomes people and especially children of all abilities to play, learn, and grow together. They not only allow children of all abilities to play together but they allow adults of all ages and abilities to actively engage with children in their care. All Inclusive Play is universally designed and has a sensory rich environment that enables to children to develop physically, socially, and emotionally. It offers just the right level of challenges where all abilities have the chance to succeed. It’s a place where children and adults of all abilities can interact together and do what everyone wants to do; PLAY!
The last weekend of every January, the Lawler Lions host Cowboy Poetry, an awesome night of entertainment. Please come out and enjoy and evening of laughter and supporting a great cause! January 27th & January 28th.

As for private citizens, we are asking them to contact the Chickasaw County Assessor’s Office at 641-392-2813. Ray Armel has worked with us previously on damage assessment and is prepared to handle those calls. People are being asked to document with photos, estimates and receipts. It’s not unheard of but unlikely that Chickasaw County will qualify for FEMA Individual Assistance, this number will be influenced by neighboring counties as well. The threshold is based on flooding levels into the main level of a residence (more or less the number of inches at the front door), most homes experienced basement flooding and will not be included in damages for FEMA aid.
If you need assistance with any flood damage you can call RAPID RESPONSE Services. They will help you clean up. This is a free service. They have been to Alta Vista and Elma helping.
You can call 1-330-473-9558 for assistance. I have pamphlet in City Hall if you would like to look at it.
Thank you,
Suzette Byrne
City Clerk
