The community is welcomed to gather at Sutton Park today for the 3rd Annual Lydia’s Day celebration from 4 to 7:30 p.m.
The event not only celebrates Lydia’s life, but also honors her memory as a beloved member of the community while supporting local teens in the area. Attendees will be able to participate in a number of water activities like kayaking, hydrobikes, and paddle boarding, and there will be live music and food for people to enjoy.
Mike Fowler, Lydia’s step-father, said his number one goal is to honor Lydia and have a day where people can come together to smile, have fun, and talk about her and the incredible person that she was. Fowler lost his daughter to suicide in 2019 when she was 13-years-old, and hopes the gathering opens peoples’ eyes to the fact that no one is impervious to bad things happening to them.
