  • Grand Marshal

    Tommy LaMadrid

    The LaMadrid family is well known for running a successful Blacksmith business on the corner of Vine & Laurel. As a child, he remembers being part of the Western Days Parade in the 1950’s and graduated from El Capitan High School in 1968.Tommy is most proud of being a Lakeside Optimist for more than 30 years. He and his buddies came up with the idea of hosting an annual Bulls Only Rodeo on a napkin at La Palapa. Today it is their most successful fundraiser, and this year will be their 25th anniversary.

    Thank you Tommy LaMadrid for all you have done to make Lakeside A Great Small Town!
