Fundraising Events
Mountain Blooms Garden Tours
The Mountain Blooms Garden Tours is a fundraising event produced by the Lyons Garden Club on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend.
​
Moving at their own pace, participants make their way through 8-10 gardens, from private sprawling flower and butterfly gardens, to intimate vegetable and fruit gardens.

Chili Cook-Off
The Chili Cook-Off also serves as a fundraiser for the Lyons Garden Club. It is held every October on the same weekend as the Town of Lyons Spooktacular Events and Halloween Parade.
Each year a local business along the parade route generously allows us to hold our event in their parking lot. This event generates community involvement as entries come from throughout Lyons. Residents enter to share their delicious chili and compete for prizes. Participants enjoy chili sampling by the taste or by the bowl.​
