2013 Mint Festival Grand Marshal

Congratulations to Edward Lambert, Jr. who is our 2013 Mint Festival Parade Grand Marshal!  Ed and his brother, Dave & Chris, are the third generation of Lambert mint festivals.  Ed’s grandfather was George Lambert who began the mint farming operation in the 1930’s along with Fred Kellerman.  Edward Lambert, Sr. took over the mint farming from George and Fred in 1959, and Ed, Sr. is now retired.

The Lamberts farm 400 acres of mint, and last year, they partnered with Kemin Industries, Inc. to provide mint for Kemin’s specialized uses of the product.  Ed, along with Dave, Chris, and their wives Lynn, Kathy, and Robyn, are also very active in church and community.

Thank you to Ed Lambert, Jr. for all of your contributions to our North Judson community!
