Hello and happy 2025 to the Old Lyme Shores Beach community!
We are excited to begin fundraising for the 2025 July 4th events. All proceeds go directly towards the costs of the parade grand prizes, sandcastle prizes, race prizes, and evening events. Each child in the parade will receive an individual prize.
We are again working with our OLS neighbors, Peter Fitzgerald and Laura Williamson from Pete’s Print Shop, to bring you a new and requested item in youth and adult sizes.
- Paragon Long-Sleeved UV 50 Protection Shirt in the color Blue Mist (a light blue)
This shirt is made of 100% microfiber performance polyester, odor/moisture management, wrinkle-resistant finish, side seams, and a tear-away label.- Youth sizes: small, medium, and large. If you need a youth extra large, please order an adult small. This shirt is not the parade prize. $25 each youth
- Adult sizes: small, medium, large, extra large, and XXL. $35 each adult
- Old Lyme Shores Beach Tote sized extra large from Town Pride, made in the USA.
Heavy-weight cotton canvas bag (21.5 “x 16” x 6”) in natural canvas with navy embroidery. The tote has an interior accessories pocket with key fob and an exterior pocket. $60 each
Orders can be made via this linked order request form or by contacting Julia Nixon by email (jmnixon@comcast.net).
Please submit orders before May 1, 2025, to ensure item availability for Memorial Day weekend delivery/pickup. We accept cash, checks (payable to Julia M. Nixon), or Venmo as payment options. All questions can be sent to Julia Nixon at jmnixon@comcast.net.
We want to thank the OLSBA board for their commitment and continued support of July 4th events. Thank you to everyone for their support and donations to help make these events possible and fun for our community. We look forward to seeing everyone in the spring.
Sincerely,
Julia and Maggie
