The 4th of July Queen Contest
is Here! That's right, The Lions Club has partnered with Special
Olympics to bring the Queen contest back this year. Many people
in the community don't realize that the local Lions Club funds
the fireworks and if you want to see this tradition continue,
you need to get your raffle tickets from Olive Natkong, Chelsea
Goucher, Vicky Pilcher, Dawn Reno, Heather Keller, Jamie Fitzgerald
and Jessica Graham. The raffle is for $500 first place, $200
second place and $50 third place.
This year the Lions will be
donating half of the proceeds to Special Olympics to help their
unified partners participate in many activities. Our Queen contestants
are outstanding members of the community who have countless community
service hours to their credit already and are dedicated to helping
provide the community our annual fireworks and help Special Olympics!
The queen and her court will be riding in the 4th of July parade,
so be sure and thank them for helping with the 4th! Thank you
girls for helping with this community celebration, we are proud
of you!
