Meet Your Roar Event Chairperson for 2026

Behind every great community celebration is someone willing to do the planning, the coordinating, and the heavy lifting.

For this year's milestone 50th Osseo Lions Roar, that someone is Lion Jayme Kruse.

Lion Jayme is no stranger to leading.

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® and Financial Advisor at the Edward Jones office right here on Central Avenue in Osseo, she's built a career around helping people make a plan and see it through. Before joining Edward Jones in 2017, she practiced estate planning law — so when she says she's organized, she means it.

That same drive shows up in everything she does for the Osseo Lions Club. Jayme served as Club President for two consecutive terms (2021–2022 and 2022–2023) and is now chairing the Lions Roar for the third time — a commitment that started when she first co-chaired alongside Lion Ed Columbus.

This year, she's leading the charge on what promises to be one of the biggest Roars yet, as Osseo's beloved festival lines up with America's 250th birthday celebration.

When she's not planning a parade route or coordinating vendors on Central Avenue, you'll find Jayme spending time with her family, traveling, or — true to form — organizing a board game night.

The 2026 Osseo Lions Roar takes place Friday & Saturday, September 11 & 12, in downtown Osseo.
