South Bloomfield, OH – April 10, 2025
The Punishers Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club (LEMC) is once again inviting the community to join them in celebrating Easter at the South Bloomfield / Ashville Easter Parade on Saturday, April 19, 2025. The event promises fun for families and children, with a festive parade and a community-wide Easter egg hunt.
The day begins with the VFW Post 7941 Easter Egg Hunt from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Marvin Webster Memorial Park. Local children are encouraged to come with baskets ready to gather eggs and enjoy early festivities.
Parade participants and floats will begin lining up at 12:00 p.m., with the procession set to roll out at 1:00 p.m. sharp. Spectators are encouraged to line the parade route, especially families with children—don’t forget to bring bags to catch candy tossed along the way!
The parade route kicks off at the Teays Valley Field House overflow lot in Ashville. It winds through the towns via Long Street, Main Street, Nelson Drive, and North Street, looping around Skyline Drive and finishing with a community dinner at the VFW. A detailed map of the route is available for those planning to attend or participate.
The event is organized by the Punishers LEMC Ohio Chapter, a brotherhood of law enforcement officers, emergency responders, military members, and likeminded individuals. The club operates under the global motto, “In Service to Others,” and actively supports public safety families through charitable work and community engagement.
Founded on July 4, 1999, in New Jersey, the Punishers LEMC has grown to include members in over two dozen countries. They run numerous support initiatives, including hardship funds for first responders, memorial chapters for fallen members, and an Armed Forces Chapter for deployed military personnel.
