Grand Marshal is a ceremonial title. They lead the parade, often in an open car, waving to the crowd. They are recognized because of their contributions to the community.
As the Town Celebrations Committee prepared for Patriots’ Day 2026, the members realized how many have contributed so much as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s independence. But there was one couple who stood out. They didn’t have a specific role, but when a member of the Lex250th committee asked, “Hey, how would you like to sponsor a drone show?” They responded, “How much do you need?” And after signing a large check, they then co-wrote the scenario for the show.” They don’t just benefit organizations with funds, but they also volunteer their time and talent.
Yes, Colin and Leslie Masson are great benefactors to our town.
