THINGS TO DO

It's the simple pleasures that make memories for people in small communities, and Latimer delivers those in spades.

Golf - You can enjoy a round of golf at our 9-hole short course and a beverage and meal in the club house afterward.  Join the men's league (they play on Thursdays) or women's league (you'll find them out on Tuesdays) - new members are always welcome.  Not a member?  Not to worry - you can buy a round of golf too.
Interested in Disc Golf?  Our neighbors across the road in Coulter have a terrific course in their City Park. Players are always welcome.

Camping & Fishing
Latimer residents head to Beed's Lake for boating and fishing. A full-service campground (including full-service restrooms) attract visitor's from all over. Pan fish are plentiful most of the time and kids really enjoy the pedal boats.  Every spring the County Conservation sponsors a Kid's Fishing Day.  Parents and their kids team up for a memorable day.

Franklin County has many different parks and recreation areas for your family to enjoy.

Latimer Fun Day
Scheduled for the last Saturday in July, Latimer's Fun Day is classic small town fun with events for the kids, a parade and community picnic.  2007 will see Latimer celebrating their 125th Birthday!  A host of activities are being planned for that special event.

Youth Softball and Baseball
There's nothing like the crack of the bat and a ball soaring over the fence to get a parent's blood going, especially when it's their child who made the hit. But whether it's family, friend or neighbor, Latimer shows great support for the CAL Cadets teams. Games are almost nightly in the summer.

Latimer Historical Museum
You're taking a step back in time once you go beyond these doors.  Located in Latimer City Hall downtown Latimer, visitors will see historic memorabelia, records, farm equipment, clothing and much more.

Holiday Tour of Homes
A much anticipated kickoff to the holiday season is the Latimer Tour of Homes.  Each year four beautifully decorated homes open their doors to hundreds of visitors.
