The Valley of Flowers Committee is delighted to have Lora Click serving as the Grand Marshall.   Lora, originally from the bluegrass state of Kentucky, is a perfect fit for this year’s theme of the Kentucky Derby.   She has been active part of the Florissant community for over forty years.  Lora and her husband Pat opened Click Heating & Cooling in 1976 in Old Town. Lora says, “The city of Florissant is a wonderful community in which to live, to work and to raise a family.”  She has two children, Mary, and Patrick and six grandchildren.

Lora has whole-heartedly embraced the mission of several civic organizations including Old Town Partners, Florissant Rotary Club, Soroptimist of Greater St. Louis, Florissant Fine Arts Council, and the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce.  In 2002, Lora and Pat were honor to be named a Lord and Lady of the Valley of Flowers Court.

Over the years Lora has sponsored several Valley of Flowers queen candidates and hosted float building gatherings in her garage.  “It was so much fun to support the candidates and their families,” Lora commented.  Many of those candidates were on the Valley of Flowers court and their floats won first place.

If there is a concert at the park, performance at the James J Eagan by a local theatre group, fir eworks on the Fourth of July, Christma¹s Walk, house tour or any other event promoting the city of Florissant, you will find Lora participating with pride.

Give Lora a wave when you see her leading the Valley of Flowers parade!
