Mayor: Andy Fuston
I have had the distinct pleasure to be the Mayor of Lyons since January of 2007. I am a nursing home administrator by trade, having served in that capacity for almost fifteen years first at Logan Valley Manor in Lyons and currently at the Hooper Care Center in Hooper, Nebraska. I have been married to my wonderful wife, Fae, for close to fourteen years. We have three boys – Kylee (20), Taylor (12), and Tommy (8). I also have one grandson, Jackson.Â
Growing up in St. Joe, Missouri it was an adjustment moving from the big city to a small, rural community. However, it didn’t take long to embrace the small town way of life and focus on all the great advantages raising a family in Lyons offers. I can’t imagine wanting to live anywhere else! Thank you for visiting our web site. If you have any questions or want to learn more about Lyons, please give us a call or stop in to visit.
